Two place, folding wing, historic homebuilt

I like the way you think. That is creative, and the unairworthy wing
could be a continuous "project". I will discreetly check on this.

I suppose any aircraft with an easily removeable wing would work....

If that logic works, any aircraft that can easily be made un-airworthy
would work. If you take it to the extreme, just pulling a cotter pin
would be enough. Or just taking the airworthyness cert.

They (the evil ones) would probably want more than that, though. How
about removing the prop? Or the joystick, the oil pressure and
temperature gage, and the pilot's seat?

Why a 2-place? There are a number of single-place designs with
removable or folding wings. Bowers Fly Baby, VP-1, Thorp 18...
The Emeraude has an option for removeable wings though it's a
non-trivial operation (ask Cap'n Rich S. about THAT!).

As far as rendering the aircraft unairworthy, a piece of duct tape over
the pitot tube would do it. I like the idea of pocketing the
airworthiness cert, though. :-D

From what I saw at Google, Thorp 18's are a 2-place design.
