Thanks guys... great info.

No retract tailwheel, so that's not an issue. I guess I was looking for opinions on using the quick disconnects. I do have room above the wing to bury the cylinder partially in the fuse and partialy in the wing.

I don't think I can go lengthwise vs crosswise without hitting the wing tongue or the flap & dive brake servos. I'll have to look at that when I'm back in the shop. If you think the quick disconnect is a safe setup, then I'll probably go that route to avoid cutting up my ribs too much.
