Colin: In order to fold the wings with the bolts of the wing attach
fittings, the bolts would all have to be in the same plane and all 4 bolts in
line with each other which they are not. The wing attach fittings are in the
vertical plane but at different elevations due to the angle of incindence of
the wing. When you try to lift the outer portion of the wing you will put the
hinge points in a bind right away. Without a re-design of the wing attach
fittings I would not try it. Another method of folding wings was shown in the
march edition of sport Aviation on the Dyke Delta.

Netters,
I bought an aircraft that was 80% complete and I registered it under the
previous builder's number (his social) and transferred the N number to me, no
problem. If it is a first time register, any number can be assigned so long as
no one else has it.
Second: Has anyone tried to fold the KR2 wings by just using the upper
bolts of the wing attach fittings and securing the wings vertically? Other than
the height, this seems the simplest.
