Having just acquired a timber rig for my Militant, I need advice on using it. To lift the jib out for use one simply uses the winch to pull the jib/derrick over, I think?
Not only that, I cannot see how to stow it after use. Is it a case of pushing it over centre and letting it drop? Cant be right, can it?? Given the weight of it, it wont half go down with a bang, or have I got the wrong idea.
Help me out please, guys, I don't want to wreck the thing before I've had chance to show it off.
