Rig + de-rig a Shadow microlight (from Lynton trailer)

Follow
SkyFreedomAv

The first speededup sequence shows Adrian Jones demonstrates how to:
bring the fuselage out of the Lynton covered trailer
roll one wing out (using a cradle trolley)
rig the wing onto the fuselage (supported by an adjustable wingtip gantry)

In the second sequence, Adrian shows how to:
derig the wing from the fuselage (using the wingtip gantry)
lift the wing onto its trolley and roll it back into the trailer
put the fuselage and other parts back inside

Based on these sequences, the real time for singlehandedly rigging a CFM 'Shadow' or 'Streak' aircraft is 20 minutes, and the derigging time about 16 mins.

[Note: Video plays at 2.5x normal speed, so don't worry about Adrian's work rate. It's actually a leisurely process rigging GMTHT, his CFM 'Shadow' microlight aircraft.]
