I did it to my Yak so I would fit in it the back of a pickup. Very easy to do takes only about an extra five minutes to assemble at the field.

If you need idea about how to do it, let me know. Pretty straight forward.

The hinges wont be glued in until after the covering goes on. All the slots will be cut at this stage before the bevel material goes on the airplane.

I'm using the Dubro Heavy Duty hinges so I can put a wire in the tail if need be. Once its all done and I can test fit it in the car and make a call on how to hinge the rudder. Those hinges make it easy to put a wire through.

I'm planning ahead
