Many people who restore antique airplanes are faced with one major obstacle when putting their airplane back together, how is it supposed
to be rigged? Well friends, here is the answer for at least 15 models of Wacos. This document is the AVIATION SAFETY RELEASE No. 317
dated
Because
of the numerous requests for rigging data on the older type biplanes, the following table is presented to assist field personnel in
this matter. Only those aircraft of which there are numerous models still flying are listed. The values given were taken
from manufacturers data on file with the CAA. Due to service changes alone in these older aircraft, it is not practical to assume that all aircraft of a given model can be rigged in accordance with predetermined values and maintain satisfactory flight
characteristics. The values shown are therefore presented only as a guide and it may be necessary to vary these values to obtain satisfactory
flight characteristics.
The dimensions and angles given in the following table are measured from vertical or horizontal lines
determined with the airplane in level attitude. Gap is measured between basic chord lines.
