Wings disassembly
First of all, drain off the fuel from both wing tanks.
Disconnect ailerons pushrods (from the control stick) and flaps pushrods (in the central tunnel)
inside the cockpit.
Release and remove the locking nuts of wing pins bolts. Screw the bolts out by approx. 2cm.
Beat out the bottom pin by light tapping on the head of the bolt by the hammer. Unscrew the bolt
and remove the bottom pin.
The assistant (holding the wing on the wing tip) can slightly lift the wing if needed to enable pins to
be pulled-off more easily.
Beat out the upper pin by the hammer with a help of any metal rod of Ø 18mm.
After pins removal, your assistant holds the wing on the wingtip and you hold it on the root. (The
second assistant which can hold the wing on flaps would be helpful).
Partially pull the wing out of the fuselage, so that you reach the space between the wing and
fuselage to have enough access to disconnect the equipment. All of you are still holding and
supporting the wing against fall.
Then you support the wing by your knees (at the area of wing root) and disconnect (or you just hold
the wing and some next assistant can help you to disconnect):
- static and dynamic pressure hoses of Pitot tube (just on the left wing)
Note: Pay attention not to interchange the hoses of Pitot tube during their next re-assembly.
- quick couplings of fuel hoses
- cable connector of the fuel gauge
- cable connector of the strobes/position lights (if equipped with)
Store the wings on safe and dry place with stable temperature. Wings need to be appropriately
secured and prevented from structural and surface damage.
