I have not even considered taking a wing off. So, you can do whatever you want, but the usefulness is doubtful. I removed the wings on my 8 last week after final fitting and stored them. Working and triming on the canopy right now.

How wrong they are, is only when they find themselves in the worst situation, and then is too late to correct their wrong planning.... I wish I had done things different, when in comes to wiring and connectors, to wings etc.... But do not believe it....
