WilliamI shared your concernsand I was particularly
concerned about the stability of the fuselage when removing and
installing the wingsthe attached photos show the FG covered
foam blocks I fabricated to do soall in all, a small and easy
jobI made the blocks to be removable, thinking they would be
problematic when rolling the plane on and off the trailer, however,
I=99ve found that raising the tail creates the required
clearance. While in transit, I use a rachet strap to keep the fuselage
---From moving.

wings would attach to the fuselage in the same way as the flying wings
attach.

forces they were designed for in flight. I would have thought this
method has been considered before.
