Yes. In this instance, I was looking for tensile strength. I want to be able to distribute some of the force to the surrounding structure, but not so much to break it. I hope, if I hit too hard, it breaks where I have circled on the attached photo. Then, I only have to build a new mounting block, repair the ribs and the skin, then ready to go. I think, if you make this area too solid, then more important things will break on a hard landing (leading edge, main spar, etc.).

Of course, I hope I don't hit that hard.
