Thanks for the info, all.
I'm looking at the fuselage, main spar, and thinking about the strakes. I'm designing retract landing gear and am figuring the length of the gear and whether I can fold them up into the strakes in a reasonable manner.
I'm an engineer by trade, and sometimes spend way too much time and effort designing things and I'll always say "Why won't that work?". Most of the time I find out why!
I'm just tinkering, but thanks for the info.
