Michael, I do appreciate your brainstorming and eager to find a safe
solution.
Before I express my POV, I just want to leave these 2 disclaimers on the
table...
1) Although I am an engineer, I am not a mechanical or aerospace one. I am
not an expert on the matter.
2) I am not familiar with the pla

I have done some digging on the KR2 folding wings and while the actual
folding mechanism is reasonably easy (See Philip's web link); the quick and
*safe* detach and reattach the WAF bolts has been the challenge. True I
can simply spend an age detaching and reattaching the wings and se
