It was designed to be less than 8' wide - to be trailerable in all US states. I'd have to pull the plans to get the exact dimensions with the outer wings hinged back or taken off - but it's less than 96" wide. The center section is held in place with six bolts, and drops straight down, with the flight controls intact. It's not a big job to remove that, once the fairings, pitot, and any electrics for the wings are disconnected. So, without going into a lot of detail, yes. Look at the photo section, "Chuck"/"Transporting" and you'll get an idea. |
