Default Do you assemble your glider paying good attention to it?

I've got a redundant assembly system--I use tape on the wing root. If the
primary attach mechanisms fail, I've still got the tape. No worries.

And if you think that sounds stupid, wait until you hear the arguments
against having someone check your work and sign that piece of tape.
Spring's coming. Plan/Do/Check/Act.

Another glider pilot just sent me this link which show a Caproni's wing
come off on launch due to improper assembly.

It's a good reminder, especially given the NTSB report:

Fly safely!
