Here's a way that makes it easier to self-rig my FS2. Cut out a notch in the bottom of each wing main spar tab (see photo) about one diameter of the attach hole deep.
Before unfolding the wing, put both main spar pins into the fittings on the cage. Unfold the wing and swing it into position. Drop the notch over the pin, and lay the wing tip down onto that piece of foam or rug you are carrying under your arm. Go to the cage, lift the wing slightly off the notch, pull the pin, and reinsert through the hole. Safety the pin.
Lift the wing tip and walk down the leading edge until even with the wing strut end (other end is already attached to the cage). Pick up the end of the strut with your foot, and insert and safety the pin.
Forgive me if you already are doing it this way - just a tip for those who are still trying to figure out an easier way.

I built a kickstand to hold my wings up in place using the fold hold bracket mounted on the bottom of the wing it works great for me if any one wants to see pictures I will get some the next time I go flying
