RIGGING PROCEDURE
5.7 GEO SUB Cluster Flying Setup (2 motors required)
Flying a GEO SUB cluster is very similar to what has been described in the above sections,
except:
•
Long Extension Bar EX2 (instead of EX1) has to be used to extend compression point
because of GEO SUB depth;
•
An additional GEO D Main bumper and a Bottom Extension Bar EX3 replace the GEO D
bottom bumper (bottom compression point being much further from the GEO SUB
rigging plates, bottom pick up point has to be a lot stronger)
However, the section below details all steps to be completed for a safe setup.
Flying a GEO SUB cluster requires:
•
2 x Motors properly rated
•
2 x GEO D Main Bumper (GEOD-BUMPER)
•
1 x GEO D Long Extension Bar (GEOD-EXBAR2)
•
1 x GEOD Front Extension Bar if strong positive tilt is required (GEOD-EXBAR4)
•
1 x GEO D Bottom Extension Bar (GEOD-EXBAR3)
•
1 x GEO D Chain Lever Hoist (LEVA0750 or LEVA1500)
•
1 x Chain Bag (CHBAG)
•
6 x GEOD push-pins per flown GEO SUB + 2 GEO push-pins for bottom GEO SUB (BLGEOD)
•
or 1 x GEOD shoulder bolts and nuts kit for fixed installations per flown GEO SUB (GEOD-
BNFIX)
IMPORTANT
Each of front, rear motor and chain lever hoists must be rated to support the entire
cluster weight.
Please check configurations in Geosoft2 for proper motor and chain lever hoists rating
