The 21 was never intended to be a singlehander (by a longshot). ...

That's a Great idea !!
I can tie a 100ft cord to the mast where the stays attach
and flip it with my car in dead air with no sails.

That Should be easier than with sails up, for the second try in wind.
If i can also video & post it here then maybe you guys see if it looks feasible or not ?

I lost both legs because i Didn't leave a way out on a
hang glider. I won't fear flipping over as much on a
fun day, if i know it'll go back right-side Up !
That's gonna be a Practiced plan!!

I didn't enjoy cutting the rear X-beam ; & i'm trying
to NOT let it bother me that the reason it was stuck
in the First place :
was because someone screwed in some SS flat-head screwes
on the spacers in-between the tubes, and didn't bother with the "locktite".
One backed out.
Now the rear cross-beam is permanently stuck in the receiver.
Unless i got a New Cross-Beam. then i (Could) use a Sawz-All to cut that section out of the outer receiver tube, And Not damage the outer Tube. The spacers are Toast, if i do that.
Cheaper to just splice the Beam back together.

Also -- the material i plan to use making my tramps, was
mentioned in the first post of this thread. I'll use
the same material for the wings.
