Default Wing Conversion (Skeeter?)

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can assist. I am trying to identify and then get ahold of, a magazine article I read awhile back, ~3-5yrs.

It was a wing conversion for a small sailplane. I think it may have been a Dynaflight Skeeter but am not at all sure. The conversion was to make the normally fixed polyhedral wing break down at the poly joints using aluminum dowels and sleeves. In this way you could fly the full wing on thermal days or fly a compact short wing made from the poly tips on slope days. The other benefit was that it all packed down very neatly.

Any help from someone with a better memory then mine would be much appreciated. It may have been Quiet Flyer (or whatever it was named before that).

Thanks,
Paul
