I don't see how. You can pull a wing off a Cessna 152, 172, etc. by

removing
three bolts. With a Maule, it's four. Can't get much simpler than that.

Of
course, you still need to mess around with the aileron cables and flaps
linkages, but you'd have to do that with a folding design too.


Messing around with aileron and flap cables is not a given, with the right
design features.

I have read about some planes, (in the case I am thinking of, sailplanes)
that have the linkages mate in such a way that no tools are even needed.
Anyone know of what I am remembering?
