Tony=0AI always rig with the flaps down, the flap will then engage with the
 operating =0Apin but you need a tapered guide in the flap root=0Ato locate
 for the final entering of the pin.=0AGraham=0A=0A=0A=0A___________________

m about to set up my wings to the fuselage for the first time and see a =0A
problem for single handed rigging. I am wondering if there is a design of a
 =0Aportable, light system of a strap setup or similar that clips onto the 
leading =0Aedge of the wing, and then goes up over a block setup that sits 
just above the =0Aflap closeout on the top of the wing, and then clips onto
 the trailing edge of =0Athe flap, consequently allowing the flap to "not f
all forward on its hinges when =0Athe wing is rotated to the horizontal. I 
have a mod in my wingtips from Chuck =0APopenoe where I can rotisserie the 
wings and move them around single handed, =0Awith the tip supported by an i
nverted T section on castors. Once the wing is =0Alocated it would be nice 
to be able to push it home from the wingtip, but the =0Aflap will need supp
orting. Any suggestions on how this can be done would be much =0Aappreciate
