Anybody ever heard of Ten Fold Engineering?
I'd always wondered if that approach could be used for a small light plane, to fold it more compactly for storage & transport, and then unfold it conveniently into a flyable aircraft.

Obviously you don't want these geometry changes to happen in mid-flight, but there can be various locking bolts, etc for that.
