Posted on 05/09/201903/11/2019 by gooseButterfly or Moth? Is a Shadow microlight, with its wings folded, a butterfly or a moth? You know. When buttterflies rest, they hold their wings vertically. On the other hand, moths spread their wings out wide. I guess that a Shadow is more of a butterfly, because its wings are vertical when at rest. I built my own wing-fold system and fitted it to my restored Shadow B-D a few months ago. I like it, because I can easily rig and de-rig solo.
