This is a good place to have images, pictures, thumbnails etc...
I went to the Australian Air Show and noticed this foulding wing desogn on a partly bult Aussie design aircraft. The TP-S uses the same set up as the KR for it's WAF's and Spars.

WAF's are the same design as the KR2
Ply blocks and bushes are glued or bolted to the ribs. The tube is attached to the wing. The tube can rotate or slide. So when the Wing bolts are removed, the wing can be putted away fron the WAF then rotated into a folded position.
