YES, the wings are easy to remove for storage or towing. The wings are detachable at the fuselage center section (where the wing dihedral starts). Two screws remove a sheet-metal cover, which gives access to the spars. Four main spar bolts, one rear spar channel bolt, and an aileron bolt hold each wing in place. Once the wings are removed, the fuselage sits on the aircraft's gear, making it easy to store or trailer.
[ZODIAC XL: The new ZODIAC XL model does not have a center wing section, but the wing are equally easy to remove].

One of the main advantages to owning your own aircraft is the freedom to fly when you want to. Having to first trailer and attach wings uses up time that you would otherwise use flying.
With its all-metal airframe, many owners keep their aircraft tied-down outdoors, saving the cost of hangering the aircraft. Thanks to its rugge ...more
