Default World Models P-82 Wing Joining

For those of you that have built the World Models P-82 ...
The instructions clearly show the outer panels being epoxied to the center section to create a 70" one piece wing. Yet there are blind nuts and screws through tabs to also hold them in place. I guess you go two ways -
One would be to set up both fuses,the center section and the horizontal stab semi-permanently, and be able to remove the outer panels. You would go to the field with the center assembly and two outer wing panels.
Another way is to join the whole wing together, thus requiring you to pull both fuses off the wing, and disengage the horizontal stab from the fuses and the elevator linkage in disass'y. You go to the field with a wing, two fuses, and a horizontal stab.

Anyone have experience with the first method? Sure seems easier to release some screws and unplug two aileron servos than aligning the entire model each time.
