I don't have any experience rigging the duo.

Do you know the weight of the individual panels?

Are the inner panels as heavy as, say, a typical 15M complete wing?

If two people can handle the individual panels reasonably easily, then that
would be quite nice. My only experience rigging and de-rigging large
2-seat ships has been with ASK-21s and Blaniks, and they are both quite a
challenge to rig due to the heavy wings.

I am also assuming that all connections are automatic?

If you have the proper equipment and a good trailer like a Cobra ,
rigging and derigging is an easy job.
I can rig and derig my Duo without any help.
In windy conditions, I only need someone to stabilize the wing dolly.
I have compared the time needed to derig the Duo and the time needed
to put the Jaxida covers on.
Putting the covers on takes almost as much time as derigging it and
store it in the trailer.
That's why my Jaxida covers are still like new.
