Hi Peter, The stock WAFs (Wing Attachment Fittings) are a pain to put on and off. It takes 2 people and about half an hour + for each operation of fitting or removing.
I've looked at modifying the WAFs to make them easier, single pin both front and back droping in from the top. But then I got hangerage at AU$ 110.00 per month, 15 minutes from home and my problems went away. regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Diffey To: kr...@mylist.net Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2005 8:39 AM Subject: KR> KR2 wing removal Hi, I am just in the process of buying a KR2, and one of the big attractions is being able to easily remove the wings. My current a/c is stored 45 mins from home, and needs 30 mins to extract from the hangar, so being able to fly from a strip 10 miutes from the house is very attractive, plus it will save me £1300 a year. My question is how realist is it to take the wings off, how long do they take to fit, how often do you need to replace the bolts, and does this lead to hole elongation. I am figuring on leaving the wings on through the high summer months, and on/off at weekends in spring and fall. It's not gonna stop me going ahead with the purchase if you guys think it is a bad plan, just alter the economics a bit.
