Regarding Kris Leirfallom's question. I had pondered this too. My thought was to use a hybrid of wing attach fittings morphed with Diehl inspired main gear attach fittings out on the ends of the center spar. I considered that if this was possible I might kill three or four birds with one stone. What I hoped to achieve is to get the main gear out of the prop wash. If this can work then why not duplicate the wing/gear attach on both the front and back sides of the main center spar so that the main gear legs might be mounted as tri gear and then later re-mounted as conventional gear. My big question would be this. Did Diehl mount his gear where he did because there were WAF's in his way further out, or because the moment arm of the landing load would exceed the structural integrity of the center spar if placed further out?
