Default Laister LP-49 for low time pilot

N49LE (currently for sale) flew at my club for a few years. I never
flew it but helped rig and derig several times. It went together much
like any older metal ship: the wings weren't particularly heavy but it
helped to have two people on the root to keep it level fore and aft
while sliding it in place and there are several pins holding the wings
on. After rigging the turtledeck has to be installed and taped. More
fiddly and time consuming than a glass ship but not difficult. The
owner used to rig it and tie it down rather than rigging and derigging
every flight.
