Have you ever taken such a thing out of it's trailer and assembled it? You sure don't want it anymore afterwards.
It's an awful task where you have to put both wing roots into the fuselage and then lift the outer ends of the wings until you can put the main connection bolt(s) in. 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.
