Dany/Kolbers:
Original Firestar is single seat. Cannot make it into a Firestar II.
Wings, with 5 main ribs, limit gross weight to one person.

If your interest is in carrying passengers, do yourself a favor and talk to Travis about a Mark III kit. The 7 rib Firestar II might be able to do it with a 110 lb passenger, but it will not be in comfort. It will be more expensive to build a Mark III, but you will be safer and happier in the long run.
The Firestar is more suited to a personal aircraft than a transport vehicle. The Mark III built and set up properly can do most every thing that a Firestar can do, but with a passenger.

Looks like you are on your way. Got a little work to do, but should make a
good flying airplane. I built one in 1986, an original Firestar.

For future planning - it is considered good manners and a courtesy to reduce the size of the pictures to properly fit the page.
Just saying.

I wanted to ask.
I fly on average twice a week,
you can fold the wings every time I go to fly?
Fold the wings every time can cause damage to the security?
There are some tricks to have a proper opening and closing of the wings?

I fold the wings every time I fly. No problem if done carefully.

I folded the wings every time I fly. One of the checks I put into place is to put all the hardware into a little box by itself (no more or no less than needed). After set up, that box should be empty.

I also unfold/fold for every flight.... When folding to put it away, I put every connector removed, back where it came from, along with safety pins/rings/washers, etc.... For me, easier to keep up with them and helps ensure their proper placement when assembling.
Your results may differ.
