One-man rigging aids - is the electric up/down control worth it?

For your LS-8, electric will speed things up a bit.
Because the wings aren't that heavy, its not really necessary like big gliders.

Put the first wing in, while you're at the root adjust height
until just right, then go put wing-stand under tip.
If you're experienced rigging the ship you can do this by feel at tip.
Less experienced, electric will save a trip or two out to the rigger.
Put the second wing in, and adjust until holes are perfectly lined up.
If you're experienced and the wing height is already close,
you can do this by adjusting the fuselage height with the cobra fuselage jack.
Less experienced and needing bigger adjustment, electric helps a lot.

Hope that helps!
