Hi folks,

I've recently purchased an S-1E and removed the wings to transport it home. It came with the "Owners Manual Maintenance Manual" but that is all-see pic. As I re-assemble the airplane, I want to re-weigh it and do a new W&B. I also need to know how to rig the wings. That info is not contained in this manual. Simple Google searches indicate there's a method of rigging that requires certain boards be made and used on the wings.

I'm not sure what manuals to buy that have the CG envelope in it or that talk about rigging the wings. Do I need to buy a set of plans? Is that info in the plans or in one of the manuals?

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
