I have seen a few people mention that they are running s2 wings on an s1.

Is the fuselage long enough to fold the wings against it without horizontal stabilizer interference? From
My quick calculations it seems they may JUST fit, but i have not had much luck finding detail pictures of the wing fold mechanism.
 
What if a person were to fold the wings at more of an angle, so the leading edge is just above the top of the horiz stab LE? Similar to what SPA has done with the panther? Also, i am considering a low wing s1 for this.
