Terry,
For rigging and de-rigging I have a set of Wing Walkers I can't live
without. I have 30 stitches and a torn shoulder from man-handling
glider wings. Now I let the equipment do the work in less than 20
minutes and save my body for other things.

Hi Bud, Ira,
We have a 39 foot hanger and a 47 foot MG (some of the time). My
partner on the plane, Dave DeFord, built a pair of wheeled dollies that
allow us to remove the starboard wing and wheel it into the hanger, next
to the plane. It takes 7 minutes to rig or derig, and can be done by
only one person.
Regards,
Terry Seaver
A135 Mono XS, long and short wings.

Ira,
Someone without a 47 foot wide hanger I guess. The short tips on
Homers 419PL are about 41 feet, and his hangar is 40. He goes in
sideways on a trolley.

Just to be clear to those folks Bud is speaking of:
A pilot with a GLIDER rating with a SELF-LAUNCH endorsement
can fly the Europa Motor Glider as a powered aircraft as follows:
No LSA Speed Limit (135kts vs 120)
No LSA Weight Limit (1450#)
No Stall speed Limit
Full Night privileges (with lights)
Full IFR privileges (if so rated and equipped)
NO MEDICAL CERTIFICATION of ANY KIND
NO issue with prior FAILED Medical Certification
Why would any US Pilot care to convert a Europa MG to the
restrictions of
LSA?
