I like the elegant simplicity of the Sonex ONEX folding wing design, it really
makes wing folding a viable option.
Since Freebird is a new design, I think it would be fantastic to copy the
folding mechanism and aileron control system of the ONEX.

If I remember correctly, that plane was hauled in and reassembled for display,
and maybe he hadn't gotten around to installing the prop blades yet, or they
were missing for some other reason. Given that it had no registration numbers
on it, it was apparently not yet ready to fly anyway. If it had tail numbers,
it'd be easy to look up on the FAA's website at
https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/search/nnumberinquiry .
It would indeed be interesting to know how he did the folding wings (if they
were folding), and if any others have good plans for how that's done on KRs or
any other plane, it might be a good addition to the FreeBird plans.....
