Rigging / De-Rig Tool for the Grob G109b

Abstract:  I am considering purchase of a Grob 109B that does not have the appliance to fold the wings with one person! I have contacted Grob and with the Euro at its present and increasing value find it quite costly to purchase from them! I would like the specifications, drawings and photos of the aforemention rigging tool so that I might replecate it. Any help would be more than appreciated.

Paul,
These one man rigs are worth money. I use them at each flight. I have
no specs or drawings but can send you some pictures if you send me
your Email.
Regards
Pierrot

You are bringing a lot of memories Pierrot!

I have 300 hrs in the Dimona AK posted on your site, back in 1984, when it was brand new, and still with a F-W... immatriculation. (aero-club de St-Quentin dans l'Aisne)

Since then I have immigrated to the US.

Well many thanks to member Pierrot I was able to have the single person
rigging tool replicated and I find that yes I can rig and derig my 109B
by myself and move it in and out of the hanger. I do have a motorized
tug that was used on a Mooney that I plan to adapt so the movement will
be some what easier. My neighbor who is in the business of steel
fabrication was able to duplicate, from photos the rather intricate
device. Many thanks to our member in France for his great help.

I am presently operating of a two thousand foot grass strip that is one
way. The Grob loves the grass as long as it is mowed.
