Removing and reinstalling S-1C wings

[SamSwift]

Hey folks,

I apologize if I overlooked a previous post, but I searched and couldn't find what I'm looking for.

Here's what I'm doing and I could use your help to determine the order of operations.

I have a Reno-racer setup on a S-1D (configured as S-1C, top ailerons are blocked off and slave struts removed) and need to disassemble and trailer the airplane in September to the races.

I'm just not sure where to start. Obviously, I need to remove all the fairings, but then what? Also, I'm assuming I remove the lower wing panels first (as opposed to the top wing).

Do I start with supporting the lower wing panels from beneath, and start loosening flying wires? Or, start disconnecting the outboard I-struts? Sorry for the confusion. From a previous owner that has removed/reinstalled the wings before, I do also have the washer-stack for each position on the I-struts, so hopefully that should help.

I do have the Doug Sowder EAA/IAC report on basic rigging, but this plane is already rigged nicely. I just want to [hopefully] barely loosen the flying/landing wires, pull the clevis pins and reinstall it at Reno.

Thoughts?
