Hi George,
If you remove the wings on a Mono and do nothing else, it falls over. If
you do the same thing on a Trigear or conventional, nothing happens!
I think this makes a significant difference to the ease of the process.

Hi Rob,
You are right: I did not specify monowheel, nosewheel or conventional
tailwheel. That is because I am flexible, as it may be that with one
configuration it is easier to remove and attach the wings. However, I doubt
whether this is the case. The replies I received have indeed given me the
impression that the type of undercarriage does not make much difference in
this respect.
The configuration I am most inclined to get is monowheel, as it is the most
efficient in flight as it is retractable. Thus it makes bes use of the space
between the two seats.
Thanks to all of you who replied.
