Just a note of caution,

The Huttlestone wing dolly geometry  for the Trigear is different to the 
Monowheel.
I had a set of Mono dollies made and have used them on my Trigear.  They
are OK for  a two person rig but hold the wing at the wrong angle for a single
person rig. ( obvious when you think about it) .  Also I think the original
fibre glass wing profiles were made for the classic wing and are not perfect for
the XS wing.  Not a real problem but worth noting when talking to Roger about
producing more.

Regards

Brian Davies

Could you shed some light on what sort of equipment you use to do this
solo?

I bought Roger Huttlestones rigging kit along with the enclosed trailer. If 
Roger
wants patterns to work from, to create more wing dollies, I can loan mine if
I can figure out a way to safely support the wings without the dollies.

If youre able to get to the Gloucestershire area, youre welcome to have a look
at my set-up.
