Easily single rigged gliders

How long is a piece of string? What's 'easily'.

Given time and patience I could rig my Nimbus 3 single handed ( I seem to
have lost the knack on the last couple of rigs though, can't get the inner
stubs together! ) It does take the better part of 1 1/2 hours though.
Doesn't involve heavy lifting if you use a one man carry out rig.

As others have said, the trailer and other equipment you have is almost as
much a part of the deal as the aircraft.

Between those two, with assembly your only criteria, go w/Russia.

I am returning to gliding shortly and am considering
buying either a PW5 or a Russia. Being of advanced
years i am looking for ease of assembly. Any pros or
cons please.

I own a Silent 12m. There is no easier rigging sailplane
out there. Each wing weighs about 40 pounds and all
connections are automatic. The new 13m version (Silent2)
assembles just as easy, gets 39:1 and has negative
flaps. Very nice handling aircraft. The 12m has a
roll rate faster than my Salto.
