This is a question for those builders who remove their wings frequently:
A number of builders complain that it is so tough to put the wings on that they avoid to remove them unless necessary for maintenance or inspection. For the small number who decided to casually remove the wings for space saving in the hangar, it would be interesting to understand how they managed to make the process a smooth one. It is clear that the seal between the wing and fuselage has to be compressed in the process. Some had to replace the VANs supplied seal with a thinner one but this may not be enough and there may be other sources of resistance like the spar stubs. If you have managed to make the process of wing removal/reinstall easy by tweeking some parts, I would be interested to know where you found room to play.
