Hi everyone,
Eyeballing a purchase of a Long EZ build that is 70% complete. The spar has been installed but wings are not yet bolted on yet. To improve storage and logistics I think a requirement of the project is to be able to fold or detach the wings so it can be easily trailered. I don’t think this was thought out in the original plans, but given the project’s completion rate I was debating if such functionality could be added.
Does anyone know if this is achievable and if it’s been done? A nice example I’ve seen is the STOL CH 701 http://www.zenithair.com/stolch701/fwo.html
My concern is messing with an engineering decision that could compromise the airplane, hence me asking here.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies, that is very helpful information. The Mustang II looks interesting though I may prefer the characteristics of a canard. I’ll keep doing my research, safety is a priority for me.
