very hard to rig. He's not a member of this group so I am asking for
him.

Anyone ever tried to assemble one? Or dis-assemble one?

As a bit of advice - if you seriously consider buying *any* glider, be
sure to get instruction from the seller on techniques for rigging and
derigging. Sure, some are quite easy, but others are not so obvious.
Considering my LAK-17a, I would not be able to rig it were it not for
the advice received from the previous owner.

Good luck in your quest!
