You need at least three people for that (probably more for that huge thing) and the wings are awfully heavy when you have to hold them up until the guy at the fuselage has finally directed both wing roots into a position that he can put the bolt(s) in. 
It's already quiet some task with an ASK21 which has only a wingspan of 17m. |
For such lower tasks I would also assemble a crowd of helpful lower beings.
If I would fly, my motto would by: fly with style, leave all worries behind.
