I am hoping to rig my wings this weekend. Everything is assembled loosely and it is starting to look like a flyable airplane. I asked a few PItts guys about their method for rigging the Pitts. I also googled it and searched my manual (S1S). So far I have come up with at least 3 totally different methods. I do not have rigging boards and would really like to not use them if at all possible.





Anyone care to share the method that they think yields the best results? I am going to buy a smart level (digital 36" level) in the morning, I have a string level, several lengths of plain carpenters levels, and a laser level.


Any help is greatly appreciated. If anyone feels like a trip to NC come on down!
