It's not such a "Speed Disaster" when he's already 50km down course and you
are just getting off tow 4 aircraft behind him.

That's why it's called a "Speed" Astir... LOL

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.
