Post subject:  Wings on the Getaway
I am getting a Getaway with wings. How easy is it to take the wings off later on days I want to trap out?

4 bolts a side... But IMO it would be a pain.

Bzzzt... Try again, Brad. ;-)

There's 4 pivot bolts and the 4 bolts at the ends of the leg tension assemblies. 8 total divided by 2 wings. That's 4 per side.

I think once you try the wings, you will want to keep them on. You really should lock tight them on, so a major pain indeed.

A good cordless drill should make short work of removing the nuts, I think if I was going to do it a lot I would substitute the bolts with SS pins and either SS clevis pins or rings.
