It's not that hard if you have another person to help and you work smart rather than just "horse" it up. If you use a winch (attached to your mast support post on your trailer) and attach the winch rope to the forestay, you have someone lift the mast as you crank the winch and it goes up easy as pie. None of the set-up is hard, it is just time-consuming. Use your head and go slow. I created a pre-flight checklist (laminated it even!) so that I don't skip any steps /forget anything. That works pretty well.
Enjoy it and ask for help when you need it.

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised. - George Will
