Default RE: Bipe assenbly

I'm a biper my self and well on my way to completing plans for a 1/4 true scale Curtiss Goshawk BFC-2. I have designed it so the that the wing halves and their strut and flying wires stay together. The only fastening job I'll have is to attach the landing wires at the upper wing and tention it via a tention device through a belly hatch. Wing removal is accomplished by loosening the landing wires and detach them at upper wing, then slide the wings out 2" of their 4" of connecting tubes, put in a transporting strut to replace the center upper wing and fuselage connections. pin this inplace and finish sliding the wing out. I do this by having the connecting tubes parallel to each other in the upper and lower wings as well as front to back.!
