If the wing wasn't originally designed and built to accomodate being dismantled for transportation, there is no way you can modify it without removing the covering and reinforcing everything appropriately. The wing takes one heck of a load, even while flying casual aerobatics.

My suggestion would be to sell your current model and buy a smaller version of the plane you want. There are quite a few available with a 52" wingspan than fly very well with a .25 two-stroke or .30 to .40 four-stroke.

To this day I cannot understand why anyone would buy an SUV. I drive vans and recently minivans. My Chrysler Town & Country has seats that fold down into the floor, providing the vehicle with a very large carrying space. It probably gets better gas mileage than an SUV and it sure didn't cost anywhere near as much.
