e-Go aircraft are designed by Giotto Castelli and are built using carbon fiber. The fuselage weighs around 12 kg and the main wing panel weighs around 20 kg. The main wing stays at zero angle when the plane is on the ground. The wing can be removed by moving a single lever on each side with an aileron control that connects and disconnects automatically. This includes the electrical system rather than the manual system.
