Frequent Wing Removal

Post by flex » Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:30 pm

We're just getting ready to start the wings kit. Before I get too far along,
had a couple questions from the folks who've been there.

I've got plenty of ideas for routing a conduit, wiring, etc. The archives have
ben great for that stuff.

The questions I have at this stage mostly deal with constructing the wings
for ease of removal. I know the Murphy literature says the wings can be
removed/installed in about an hour. Is there anybody out there that removes
their wings on a regular basis (like to store the aircraft at home or trailer it)?
Any recommendations for quick-disconnects, or hardware mods to limit the
wear/tear on the spar attachments?

I've been told to completely forget about the idea of creating folding wing
attach points (like a Glastar/Sportsman), and as an aero engineer I know the
analysis that should go into those parts to do it right... and I don't have time
for that.

Any tips/tricks/ideas I can incorporate into our wings to improve the process?

Thanks to all for the great advice I've gotten in the past. Sorry to post the
message yesterday about selling the kit, but I think we've got it nailed down.
Rough day.
