STC'd or their equivalent in Canada, I'm not sure here) and five or six
of them will fit in the hangar footprint of a Skylane."


Some Ercoupes have (STC'd) folding wings?

I'm building a Dyke Delta. It has foldable wings. I can testify that
foldable wings will NOT contribute to an affordable airplane.

I spent MONTHS working on all the fittings and the exactness required is
astronomically even by aviation standards.
