30 Minutes is typical ... sub 15 minutes is possible with an
experienced crew.

You can purchase or build one-person assembly aids to allow you to do
it alone. Some people are very practiced at this and can put together a
glider just about as quickly as a two-person team.

The attachment points have been designed and tested to fail at loads
well above those you are expected to encounter in flight when you are
operating the glider according to published/certified guidelines. Weak
attachment points are usually never cited as a accident issue ... pilot
error in controlling the glider ... or in hookig up/attaching the
flight controls during assembly ... are the typical causes of
structural/control failures. Most new glider designs now have
automatic control hookups, so when you install wings and elevators, the
control surfaces are properly connected to the cockpit. Even so, a
final check is used to insure the assembly is correct and the control
surfaces function properly.
