Ease of attaching and detaching

I've flown an LS-4 for the past four years. The hook-up is easy and
with collars that screw over the connection, is very difficult (but not
impossible) to attach incorrectly. I've learned to check the connection
by feeling the hole at the bottom of the control connection joint with
my finger. If the hole is a half-round, the connection is secure; if
you feel a completely round hole, the connection has not been made
correctly and you should start over. Rolladen-Schneider provides
mirrors to check the connections visually, but in my experience they
are useless.

Once you get used to rigging the glider, the whole process can be
accomplished in less than 15 minutes.

The LS-4 is also easy to fly and wonderfully forgiving of pilot errors
-- a good ship to begin with.
