I've been looking at the plans and didn't see anything removable either.
I'm familiar with the way model airplanes join segmented wings, but I'm
unsure if they do something similar on "real" airplanes.

I have never seen a Quickie that had a removeable canard or main wing.
( I built the single place, so I'm certain of that.) I have looked at
hundreds of pictures of other Quickies or seen them in person and have
never seen removeable wings. ( Not to say that someone out there hasn't
done it of course, but it's not in the construction plans ) The
fuselage, however, can disconnect aft of the main wing if you would
like to build it that way. It's approved, but take it from me, it's a
nightmare !! I do believe the main wing of the Dragonfly is
removeable, but I'm not sure of the canard.

Dave for Your info. The Quickie and Q2 use a fiberglass build up spar

as You
will see from the plans. The Q-200 uses a carbon fiber spar.
Yes the Quickie canard (front wing) can be removed.

There is also this on ebay:

Basic question for the Quickie, do the wings disassemble? I'm

also
looking
for techniques for attaching wings.

Thanks!

Take a look at the ruttan wings on a q-1 or q2 it will fit

the
bill
for
what you want. There is one site on the web for free downloads

of the
q2
info but I do not have the URL at hand. Q1 plan can be had on

C.D. for
less
than $10 via EBay.

Can anyone suggest some home built construction sites where

they
show
the
process of building a spar for a foam composite wing. I'm

confused
on
how
a
spar is built for a foam wing. It doesn't seem like the

foam
itself
would
provide enough structure to provide a web. It would seem

like
you'd
have
to cut the wing foil, cut out the location of the spar, build

the
spar,
and
then reinstert that section back into the foam wing.

Thanks,
Dave
