Finally was able to to a test rigging of my Swift. I used the manual labeled "PASRiggingManualv12"

The first issue I ran into was installing the wings. The rear wing pin being right over the fuel tank, leaves no room to install the lock ring. The fuel tank will not flex enough to allow the pin to be inserted from the bottom. I ended up putting it in from the top and using a safety pin style lock rather than the lock ring. ...How do YOU do it?
Second, the lines for the spoilers required unraveling the activation ball/rope to allow enough slack to pull the carbineer just above the wing so that it could be opened and attached to the spoiler pull strings. Once done and the pull rope put back in the cleat and ball. Activating them drags the carbineer around the edge of the fuel tank and tries to catch on the tank lip. This is not workable....How did YOU do it?

Third, that so called safety pin used to secure the rear vertical stabilizer aluminum tube to the carbon fiber extrusion on the end of the wing. I tried all four possible ways to insert that pin. From the front, wavy section away from the fuselage. From the front, wavy toward, from the rear, away and toward. From the rear and toward is what the rigging manual says but doing so it is loose and will fall out as it clips over nothing. What do YOU do here?
