I took mine down once for transport using my wife's Toyota p/u when my Chevy was in the shop. I left the wings together.

1. Remove landing gear. (4 screws)
2. Remove prop.
3. Unbolt cabane struts from fuselage. (4 screws)
4. Remove wing bolts from lower wing.
5. Slide wings off of front of fuselage.

All flying wires are left attached. Took about 15 minutes total to take down and set up. It may or may not be a pain as fossil says. It helps if you have a helper.

I hope your's flies well. Mine has a Saito 150 in it, and it flies great. Does scale like rolls and loops, pretty stall turns and hammerheads, and graceful chandelles. Of course, there is no real need for a 150 in this plane and it seldom sees full throttle, except when I just feel like going up, up, up. I just wanted a deeper sounding "thumper" that would easily swing the 1/5th scale size 15-16 inch prop.

Just remember to hold *some* up elevator when throttling up for take off or it will nose over. After a while you'll find your plane lifting off in a very pretty manner with very little throttle, and it's ground handling characteristics are outstanding for a taildragger.

Good luck,

Dave
