Default Wing is too long!

I have a Thunder Tiger Piper J-3 Cub ARF that has a 82.7” wingspan. The two piece wing is meant to be glued together to make a one piece. But if I do this, it will be too long to fit into my small SUV. So I would like to keep it a two piece wing for transportation purposes. But not sure what’s the best way of modifying it and how to securely attach to two pieces together. I was thinking about using a aluminum or carbon tube but the wing does have a little dihedral built into it so I think a straight tube would be a problem, I have no problem removing the covering and modifying the wing to make it work, I just don’t know what the best method is. Thanks for any help!!! Mark
