Can you change a DF800 MkIII (±1989) into a DF with swing wing system? The beams are almost alike the SW, only the ama's are not turnable! It seems to me that the newer SW's have a turningpoint construction under the ama-deck. Who can tell me?

I have just bought a DF800 MkII (1988) Who can help me change into a DF with swing wing system?
I need details of how to rig the swing wing system.
And don´t know exactly, how to fix the control-lines of the swing-wing-system (inside the akas and at the main-hull). Can anybody give me help, drawing and description of it?
Thanks, Mark.

Hey, have you find any solutions to your problem? I'd like to buy a 800 and try to buil a swing-wing-system. Do you know if anyone before had ever secceded in such a enterprise?
Thanks.

Buon giorno vadoavela!
We do not know who find any solutions to something this problem.
We have several ideas (mechanisms), who now want to verify.
And now constructing.
I have not received assistance from QUORNING BOATS ApS.

We cannot recommend changing a fix wing into a Swing Wing, so we will not assist you in this process. Sorry. It is both better and cheaper for you to buy an older second-hand DF 800 Swing Wing.

With kind regards,
