inside? outside in the wind and weather?

each wing supports part of the other with the "center spar pin" that
connects to the other root, could cause some undo stress on the fuselage
where the free end of the spar might bang around in the winds..

I do know of a Grob 103 that was stored as such.. out side.. as one wing

was
off to a shop for wing tip damage repairs.. but the remaining wing was
supported level on a wing stand.. but it was only weeks.. and not 6

months..

If you are inside.. I think it would be better to build a support stand.

Or
build a cradle to support the fuselage and get the other wing off also and
into some support cradle..

but that is

Anyone know if it is a bad idea to store a 103 with one wing off and the
other attached? The attached wing being set to the ground as if both

wings
were attached. Seems to me it creates a large force where the wing binds

to
the fuse at the root. It would be stored like this for 6 months.
