E-flite YAK 54 3X wings removable???

I recently bought a used YAK 54 3X electric plane, and I was wondering if the wings can be removed for easier transportation?
I have a small car. I noticed there are screws at the bottom of the wings on each side, I loosened the screws but it seems like the wings have been glued in so I did not want to apply too much pressure trying to remove them.
Any suggestions would be very helpful if anyone has the same issue or is familiar with this.
Thank you in advance for your valued input.

I had the same plane and yes the wings do come off for transport. Did the screw come right out of the wing? If so then you should be able to just pull and the wing will slide off, be careful though as the lead for the aileron servo is not that long. Would be strange if someone glued them on

Thanks Wizard,
I will try again and see if the screws come out completely, if not then I gues I should leave them alone.
If they do that means I am in business but may have put extions on the leads for the servos??

Thanks
