As with all things that can kill you if you get it wrong it is a good one a to have someone look over the glider you have just rigged, mistakes in this area are rare but could be fatal.

Interestingly some of the modern powered aircraft like the Diamond's show their ancestry in the way the wings are attached, it is very easy to get the wings off with just a few control conections and two bolts to undo to get the spar pin locks out, the de- rig can be done very quickly once you have taken the fuel out of the wings.................that is if you don't decide to try to remove the spar pin locks with a hacksaw like someone tried to do on an aircraft I recently put back together!
