Also, how practical is the folding wing feature?  Is

it as quick and easy as stated on the website?  It

would be nice not to have to pay hangar fees.



For a Model IV Speedster, I go slow because each time

is an invitation to damage something.  It takes about

20-30 minutes, and sometimes longer, to get it secured

on the trailer, ready to tow, plus tow time about 3

miles to the barn.  Loading is quick, folding is

quick, but properly securing everything takes a while.

 Not for flying every day.  For that, I leave it out. 

When time comes to put it away, I make sure the gas is

burned down.  Folding is handy to take it somewhere to

work on it or to stuff into a small extra space in a

hanger.  Unfolding and unloading takes about the same

time as folding and loading.
