Folks,
I had the very great pleasure of meeting Jim Bede on several occasions, we discussed this wing at length. A company with which I was associated at the time was his agent for Western Europe.
Part of the reason for this wing structure was that it was very easy for amateur builders to construct.
On the original design ( for an Experimental Amateur Built aircraft) it took about 20 minutes max. for two people to remove the wings to minimise hangar space.
Tootle pip!!
