§ 61.87 (i)

Just a note that for clubs that do not fly in the winter (mine typically doesn't from late November to March-ish) they disassemble/reassemble the fleet twice a year.

This allows a great opportunity for the pre-solo pilots to lend a hand and fulfill this reg. Not to mention a great opportunity for a group get together plus photo-op!

We once had a hangar door that was jammed shut for longer than it should have been. It took weeks to get replacement parts to make it work again!

We couldn't bring ourselves to leave our ASK-21 out exposed to the elements while this hangar maintenance problem was being sorted out. We got a lot of experience putting the ASK-21 together in the morning, and putting it away at night. It can be done with three people, but usually 5 were holding onto one wing at a time.

Never derigg unless it’s absolutely necessary. If it’s in the training syllabus wait until derigging must take place to check that box , never before . Derigging /rigging is the opposite of fun so no wonder nobody want to do it
