Burkhard..

You have been extremely helpful so I will share with you a sneak peak of my progress to date. I plan on splitting the wings into two sections of nearly 8 feet each. The lower and upper wing panels will be complete with engines, struts, support wires. The will be joined to the fuselage at the field. I suspect 10 minute installation for flight. Fuse and tail in one piece. Actually the tail does come off but I am not..repeat..not going to remove the tail for transport as it would take me an hour just to hook up all those damn wires....I transport all my Giant scale models in a large 15 passenger Ford Van. I remove the seats needed to accommodate the planes.
By the way.. the model and all its parts have already been framed up.I have the engine mounts, landing gear to be completed.
