I am actually thinking about adding the wing lockers now that I have to tear the wings apart. Still have not decided fully.

If anyone is thinking about doing this, be aware that the 650 lockers
are a bit different than the 601 and, in my opinion, a bit better.
Not a big deal, but worth cosidering

How are they different?
BTW - congrats to you guys who had the foresight to not close your wings. I'd be further along in my build if I wasn't so far along....

Without looking at the plans: the "flanges" around the sides and back
are wider on the 650, stiffing on the cover is a bit different, and
the biggy, the hinge is mounted with the pin down rather than with the
pin up. Shimming the hinge to the top skin different. I think maybe
the rear bulkhead is slightly different. Sorry, don't have the plans
at hand.

For those of you on the fence about the wing lockers, I can get into a lot of my wings with the lockers open to fish out cables wires and such. Saved me a couple of times building.
