>>This makes the whole rigging and de-rigging issue almost irrelevant.
Yes, but makes the handling of the glider on a remote airstrip very much more important because you don't have your mates around you to help rotate the glider, push back beyond the cones, run a wing etc. Gliders like the 25 are great if you always land back where you took off from but if you are going away from home, you need to bring some friends along. My guess is that if the Germans went for pre-preg they'd save a heap of weight in the wings.
