I moved a coupe about two months ago. The flat metal strips between the wing and the center section both sides need to be removed. Just take out the screws. on the right wing at the after end of the gap you will find the wire for the wing nav light, the aileron pushrod and two big bolts joining the front spar and two small ones at the rear spar. remove them and the wing will come off. The left wing is the same except for the two rubber lines for the pitot tube in the same area. You will need a trailer with at least 9 feet of width to move it as the mains are 8' center to center. Tie it down real good. A 8 foot trailer will do if you build a sideboard of sorts to widen it where the tires will sit. I let most of the air out of the tires and pulled a nylon strap tightly around the tire then reinflated them, it did not move. Best of luck. The mains remain with the center section.
