in the 6x6x6 you can pop out 2 wings easily...Frank gave me that tip
I don't remember exactly about the 7x7, but I think you can do that 2...pop 2 outer wings
(...)
Also, the main reason for the pops on the 6x6x6, in my experience, has nothing to do with the misaligned inner pieces. It's when turning an outer layer. The wings get caught on the second layer in and twist the second layer centers out. I think that when I first started using my 6x6x6, I had problems with misaligned inner pieces, but I got used to that quickly. It's the ease of popping while doing outer layer turns that scares me (especially when doing 6x6x6 BLD).

Agreed. You can just reach in and pull them out - kind of like you did on the 5x5x5, but easier. It's nice, because it's very hard for this to happen accidentally while solving, but very easy to do it intentionally if you want to.

I'm inclined to disagree. I've tried to be careful, and even to go really slowly, and my 6x6x6 still pops a lot.
