I bent up my RV6a yesterday while landing at a remote airport. Thankfully no injuries. Nose gear damage and prop strike.
I was not the builder. I need to remove the wings for transport back to my home field. From what I understand, the main gear needs support to get the wings out.
Any suggestions for doing this in a remote grassy field with a folded nose gear?
I've read about making a false spar but I'm not clear how that would work.
The stress from the incident along with the wing removal is a bit overwhelming. I started on the smaller spar bolts and as others have noted, it's not easy.
