I have made several enquiries regarding this. Know the Savannah guys are not keen on it and the CH guys suggest that removal is better. Look forward to some more info...

Hi,
Both my suppliers suggest removing the wing.
The option is available but not recommended. (why in the forst place
)
To my knowledge, and I wanted to put it onto my STOL CH701, this option is still not as easy as on some other aircraft.
What I have done is to install quick release fuel connectors should I wish to remove the wings at a later stage.
Once you are familiar and have the right spanner/socket removal/refitting could be done in under 30min per wing.
But, ja, maybe someone will design a neat option sometime!
