I have made several enquiries regarding this. Know the Savannah guys are not keen on it and the CH guys suggest that removal is better. Look forward to some more info... :wink:

Hi,

Both my suppliers suggest removing the wing.
The option is available but not recommended. (why in the forst place :?: )

To my knowledge, and I wanted to put it onto my STOL CH701, this option is still not as easy as on some other aircraft.
What I have done is to install quick release fuel connectors should I wish to remove the wings at a later stage.
Once you are familiar and have the right spanner/socket removal/refitting could be done in under 30min per wing.

But, ja, maybe someone will design a neat option sometime!
