I'm doing the same as Bill and I agree with him. Should I later need to remove the wings it will be a simple matter to cut any connections and add in a connector.
Bill, how are you attaching your canopy? Are you using the Van's method or are you gluing? I'm ready to start my canopy but I'm still debating which method to use. Do you have a web site with photos of your canopy work?

?I built a Zenith 601XL a couple years ago and invested the time and effort to
make disconnects
but it was a waste of effort. 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. Best
regards, Bill

Every person has his own ideas. 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....

Hey Stan,
Having connectors and fittings sounds good in theory, but
how often do you really thing you will need to remove your
wings. If you really think you might have to do that in the
future, just leave enough extra wire or plumbing so that you
can cut it and put the connector in then. Getting the wing
attach bolts out will be the hardest part of that type of
project anyway.
See you in the air soon,

If I ever have to remove my wings, wiring and plumbing will
be the least of my problems.

RV-8 Q/B
stazel(at)cpros.com
I'm planning to install fittings and connectors in the
wing roots so that pitot lines and wiring can be
disconnected to facilitate wing removal/installation. Are
there any photos out there which I could use to help me sort
this out? |

Stan, no I don't have a web site. I can barely figure out e-mail. I'm gluing the canopy. It seems the better of the two methods to me. I'm
in the frame prep mode now. Still have a little more to trim on the canopy before I make the big cut. Maybe tonight if the Bud holds out. I'm not sure why it concerns me so much. Maybe because I have read so much of everybody else's concern. I hope to glue this weekend if I can get all the moving parts in place by then. I helped Tony Patti glue his canopy last month and have some experience now on do's and don't so I hope it goes well. I'll let you know how it goes. Best regards, Bill
