Fixed gear vs. retracts

[Rick Wallace]

That's how mine are mounted in my one piece Elan wing. I leave the gear 
mounted in for transport. The wing stores / rides on pvc pipes hung from the 
roof of the sta wagon - I've gotten good at dropping one end ofg one pipe to 
gain clearance for the fixed gear

-- wing bags just aren't an option either...
