Hi All,



I hope to have my  CH701 on amphib floats flying by June and was hoping to use the folding wing option to pull up on a beach near the ramp and "quickly and easily" fold the wings before taxing up the ramp. Is this realistic?  How easy is it to fold the wings on a ch701 and must one drain the fuel and disconnect several cables etc?  



Thanks for any illuminating information

I am scratch building a 701 but am not yet flying. 

Take my statements as such.



My understanding is that the 701 folding wing option

is more for seasonal storage rather than daily use. 

You still have to manually disconnect everthing.  That

includes the spar bolts, strut bolts, control

linkages, fuel lines, pitot lines, etc. 



As it has been explained to me(by CANZAC), the option

was never intended for daily use.
