man rigging and wing panel weight?
The Silent lends itself very well to single-person rigging. However, each wing panel cannot be lifted by one person, so a “one-person rig” is required. One-person wing assembly rigs are available – please see our price list. Wing panel weight for the 12.0m wing is on the order of 39.5 to 40.0kg (87 to 88lbs) and approximately 2/3’s of that is at the root. The 13.0m and 13.3m wing panels are approximately 4kg (10lbs) lighter than the 12.0m panels due to extensive use of carbon fiber.
