Not meaning to bag on them, but I have NEVER been around
an Astir of any kind that went together easily. I
am not a real fan of the 'twist to lock' front and
rear fittings. Someone, please tell me they can go
easy!

Yes they can but you need to make sure that there is loads of grease and
that everything is lined up before the last wing is pushed into place.
Works best with two tip trestles.

Of the rest, they can all be good. Get the seller
to walk you through assembling it and taking it apart.
You will get a real feel for how good the trailer
setup is when you do this one time. Most important
here is YOU do the work, with him telling you what
to do.

Yes, just went through this with someone looking at my glider with a
view to selling it.
Glasflugels are really nice, since the have the bar
you can use to pull the wings together. As with any,
they must be in close alignment first, but you can
then pull them together. MUCH easier than telling
the person at the tip to 'wiggle and push in'. But
I think you will find that most that you are looking
at will just slide right together.

Having seen most of the gliders on the list I have to agree that their
owners seem to rig and de-rig fairly quickly.

Have fun with whatever you buy!
