I don't believe so - the flight control cables and such run through the hinges (one of my work buddies had to the sweat rotor burst for the tightly grouped wiring and flight control cables). The turn times and usage rates for the LCFs (at least pre- pademic) was such that having to physically disconnect and reconnect cables would have been a real problem.
