Pretty simple idea:

The carpet covered tube is brilliant. It is easy to make something
complicated. The hardest solutions to arrive at are the simple and easy ones.
That's why you want smart, lazy people.
There are actually two inventions here though. The second isn't very
visible. He's modified the wing root dollies to have flat tops with
removable pins so that he can rotate outwards and then pull the pin
and twist the wing flat.
An even better mod is to extend the wing dollytracks with a removable
extra section to take the wing root outside the trailer body. Bruce
Tuncks invented that idea. Means you don't have to reach inside the
trailer. I've been using that since 1984.
Anyway, after all that, the invention is pointless in Australia as
the bozos running the GFA insist on a second person to inspect and
sign the DI. Funny how there is a world market for one man rigging
devices to make you independent isn't it? And how the selling point
used by manufacturers of motorgliders is "independence". Still
wondering why gliding is going down the drain?
