Prepare a wing support for the first wing.
Mount first wing. When in, standing at the wing root, lean over the
fuselage and feel that the spar is in the horisontal middle of the hole.
Fixate the wing stand and recheck that the first wing spar is at the rigt
oplace, middle of the hole.
Mount second wing. Here it's up to the tip holder to feel the right
height.


A little practice, and it's no hazzle.
Some Schempp Hirths are too tight Fit though.

I have recently been flying (and rigging!) a V2a. In addition to the points
above, the Owner had a good tip (which can be applied to many types), which
is to apply the tape immediately on the upper surface of the 1st wing, to
keep it from being pushed out. (I used to part insert the main pin on my
old Cirrus for a similar effect, as the hole was offset) This is more of an
issue with SH gliders as the wing spar has a spigot which goes into the
other wing, not just the fuselage.

Also ensure the bearings on the fuselage are lined up before rigging. I
find sometimes a little lift of the leading/trailing edge to help the
spigot into the bearing is needed.

If you have a hydraulic ramp (Cobra etc), it may make it easier if you
leave the main wheel up and lower the fuselage as low as possible before
inserting the wings. This means the wing tip holder has an easier job as
they don't need to lift the tip higher.
