How is that possible? We don't care about lining up the wing, we just
push it in and it has nowhere to go, except for just the right spot.
When the wing can not be pushed any further, no other manoeuvring is
necessary, we can just slide in the various pins to secure the wing. We
have glassed in a small ridge that guides the spar to its destination,
and made funnel shaped flap root extensions so they catch the pin
without any intervention.

Well, you just let the cat out of the bag about the time it takes to rig
your airplane... ;-)

Anyway, I guess with some small modifications it would be possible to
make any Europa easy and fast to rig.
