Default How hard is a Diamant to assemble?

Anyone ever tried to assemble one? Or dis-assemble one?


If it's the long-winged version, then some decent dollies or at least
supports are a must. I helped with the long-winger twice, and as
others have said, would never do it again unless the owner had the
right rigging gear.

I also helped with an HBV, and it was a pleasure.
