I believe that the WAF for the Vari-Eze are one of the easiest systems I've 
ever come across.  Strong and quite dependable.

It's easy to look at one.  Just find an EZ on you airport.  And the 
push/pull for the elirons is also top draw.

[jeffyor...@qx.net]

Yes, I agree, the Varieze WAF made wing removal very easy. I had one and still 
have the plans. I could easily remove and install the wings by myself, but I 
would not say that it was so easy as to suggest you could do a quick removal to 
as to trialer back and forth between home and airport.

As I recall, you had a couple of 6 inch bolts on each wing, with tappered caps, 
I am trying to recall from memory.

Jeff...

Any chance I can buy a set of plans from you for the
varieze... I would just like to have them for
reference.

KR> removing the wings

[Oscar Zuniga]

Dennis;

It has been discussed (removing and reinstalling the wings) many times.  
Probably if you search on something like "wing gap" or "WAF bolts" you'll 
hit something.

The concensus is that the wings were only made removable for two reasons: 
(1) ease of construction in smaller sections and in more confined shops, and 
(2) removal of a wing panel for repair of damage.  They are not intended to 
be removed frequently, and in fact the fit of the bolts in the holes should 
be quite tight so as to make it more than just a matter of 20 minutes to 
remove or reinstall them properly.

Some builders glass over the wing gap after final assembly of their 
airplanes for this very reason.  Most use aluminum or fiberglass strips to 
cover the gaps, figuring to leave the WAF connections accessible for 
inspection and/or the possibility of wing removal in the event of an 
off-airport landing requiring trailering.  There have been one or two 
folding wing schemes hatched, as well as one or two quick-connect schemes, 
but I don't know of many (any?) that have been successful to the point of 
the design being publicized or copied.

Thanks for the info Oscar. That would mean that I need a hangar for the plane. 
I don't think that leaving it outside in the winter would be a good idea. Even 
a car type cover wouldn't give me the required weather protection.

Denny ...

Okay, okay.  That's a good one.  But that's the exception... not the rule.  
We Yanks aren't the sharpest pencils in the drawer, so it takes a Brit (or a 
German) to come up with a piece of class like that.  Our approach generally 
involves applying more horsepower than finesse ;o)

Thanks Mark! I knew that I had seen these pictures somewhere before. Thanks for 
the memory wake up call. He is also using the KR-1b wing flaps for approach 
control.

I need to study the pictures closely, but I'm assuming that the builder is 
using anti-crush spacers of some sort between the attach fittings on the outer 
wing panels.

Thanks ... Denny
