remove wings on quicksilver? (SLSA)

Looking to buy the new SLSA quicksilver. To trailer it home the dealer says I can remove and put the wings back on myself and don't need a A@P to sign it off. Is that correct?

BRS

Can anyone tell me more about a BRS system. I know they cost around 5 grand. Do they have to be repacked every 5 yrs or does that depend on the manufacturer? And then there is the rocket, is that good for 7yrs? And I guess you can't ship them via UPS etc. Any info woulod help, thanks

Re: quicksilver a/c

Well, I asked for a quote from Falcon and they gave me $1600/yr. I guess I better e-mail Uflyit and tell them I found an insurance company for them.

Re: would you fly w/out insurance?

Gosh, I really want to fly floats (amphips) and that might be my only option. Can an airport keep you out if they find out you don't have insurance?

Re: can a public airport keep you out?

I don't think walking out to the hangers is a big issue if you go thru the main lobby etc. If your flying at the same airport I'm sure you could get some arrangement to get in but I was thinking more if you were trailering it on a long vacation and it all of sudden it got servere clear and you wante...

I'm looking at the Aeroteck plane which has the folding wings like Kitfox etc. If I bring it to an airport do they have to let me in? Pre 9/11 it wouldn't have been much of an issue but now they are fenced in pretty good. I don't know if the local FBO is going to be real happy to go out and unlock t...
