Thanks. I'm very familiar with the disassembly side of things (it really isn't bad) and no, you can't remove the wings at the booms...the spar is continuous. Sequence must be empennage (horz/vert stabs) off at booms, booms at wing, wings. Reverse to reassemble. Maint manual is very clear on the procedure. Empty weight is about 3000lbs so I'm not sure how it would be overweight.
I am more interested in the trailer setups and how the aircraft was loaded/unloaded. Looks like you can do it in a 8.5 x 20 flatbed without too much trouble or if someone had a transporter who they trust and could recommend.
As for scrapping it...well, that's an option. It needs significant engine work and I would prefer to do it in my hangar with my local shop/a&p whom I trust more than trying to manage remotely at an airport 1500 miles away with limited support available. Honestly its a rather interesting aircraft that I think deserves to fly again (air conditioning/Robertson STOL/good maintenance history etc).
