LOL BT That assumes the guy who owns it knows how to put it together. I once watched someone struggle for over two hours in the hot sun and ultimately give up. * You have to know how to line things up in the Astirs or it truly is a Disaster. Uh, yeah. It took me a long time to rig when I first got it, but it isn't rocket science. Now I rig more quickly than any other glider on the field. I don't think I'd want to try it with a one man rig though, too many things to line up at once. I need one assistant for 5 - 7 minutes. 20 minutes from opening the trailer to PCC is about average. Add 1/2 an hour if I'm filling up the wings. |
