Mike, I would put it at about $3500 U.S. for the completed airframe, maybe$4000. From what I see so far, it will be major effort to take the wingsoff. Can't give you an example as it's taken me about a thousand hours sofar and I haven't got the wings on yet. BNest guess would be 2 to 3 hours,with a helper.----- Original Message -----________________________________________________________________________________

Mike, I would guess about $4000. The wings, struts and flying wires takealmost 30 minutes to remove. It takes two hours to put back on and a fewflights to re-rig the wings to fly right.Copinfo(at)ix.Netcom.ComTim CunninghamDes Moines, Iowa (515) 237-1510>Can anyone give me an exact cost for a completed airframe?>>(ie. no engine but with gear and covered and such)>>Also, how long does it take to completely remove the wing for>transportation?>________________________________________________________________________________
