The big drawback to the 1-23's is assembly/disassembly.
Assembly/disassembly is a 3 person job. The wings are held together
similarly to a 1-26, with bolts. However, on the 1-23, there is a
"puller" tool that is needed to get the wing bolts out. Don't lose that
tool!

A 1-23H15 is a great ship if you can keep it assembled and don't plan on
traveling with it too much.


I did my first cross country flights in a 1-23. I do not recall there
being any special tool to rig the ship. It assembled just like a
1-26.

I do recall that the bolts for the spars were specific to the holes.
I remember color coding them.
