Default trailerable canard

Of the various 3-4 place canards derived from Burt Rutan's original,
(cosy, velocity, ...) are there any with wings easily folded/detached
for trailering?

I'd like to consider acquiring one, but hangarage is very unavailable
round here, so the bird would have to live on a trailer when not flying.

TIA,


there was an Eagle X that was setup to be trailerable. it is a 3 wing
thing with similar problems to canards.
their method was to split the fuselage so that the canard and mains
remained untouched and the tailcone pulled off. it was mounted
sideways on the trailer.

....there is more than one way....
