Default Gp Tiger Moth Tear Down

I have just finished the Pacific models Tiger Moth. This ARF is the most detailed ARF I have ever seen. Just about everything is included and all the control surfaces come hinged with proper hinges not the plastic inserts. I put a Saito 120 up front and am waiting for a warm day to fly it. I also was trying to figure out how to transport the plane without breaking it down and I am wondering if this idea would work. I have a friend who has a WW1 Sopwith Camel with rigging wires all over the place. His solution was to build the fuselage with a joint just behind the cockpit. The two fuselage halves are joined by four screws into hardwood blocks. The tail servos are mounted behind the joint so the only connections at the field are four screws and two servo leads. The beauty of this rig is that the tension on the rigging wires is never disturbed. As Pacific also sells an ARC ( almost ready to cover) TM ( I hate shiny covering on old planes) I am seriously considering this split fuse method. It works for him.

Enough hints to the better half and you may get it for Xmas.
