Nothing like assembling a sailplane, loading it full of water and
bombing down a ridge at red-line for a few hours.

Then you just pull the wings and tail back off and trailer it home.

the size of those pins/bolts that hold the wings on should attract the
attention of any pilot not used to rigging sailpanes :-)
