That article indicates only that the wings "folded up in flight". Is
there additional information elsewhere indicating this was a rigging
error?

A real shame, regardless.

"NTSB Investigator Butch Wilson states there is no known issue with
the 36A's detachable wings, so long as they are mounted properly to
the fuselage prior to flight."

Purely speculation at this point, probably not far off base though. A
shame is right.
