Your relatively deep cross member structure inside looks like it could easily handle the increased bending loads this would impose. Would this overload the main compression members of the LG? I would personally prefer slightly shorter gear if it would eliminate the extra box structure (I also hate extra frontal area in the prop blast). It's been fun and interesting watching you improve the design. Keep it up!LNDnoreply@blogger.com
