I don't have any experience rigging the duo.

Do you know the weight of the individual panels?

Are the inner panels as heavy as, say, a typical 15M complete wing?

If two people can handle the individual panels reasonably easily, then

that
would be quite nice. My only experience rigging and de-rigging large
2-seat ships has been with ASK-21s and Blaniks, and they are both quite a
challenge to rig due to the heavy wings.

I am also assuming that all connections are automatic?

It's heavier than any 15M I have assembled. I'd say it's similar to most
2-seaters - not easy but two people can do it with assembly aids. The
controls are automatic.
