Today I visited another Pitts being built nearby.. I see he has split his side panels into removable sections that allow for panel remove without removing the wing.

I haven't got far enough on the wings to know whether this is necessary, or whether they can be removed without removing the wings - for inspection behind the throttle etc.

Anyone got any input on this? thanks!
