Ok,

Mrs Clause has approved the purchase of a Big Stick 40 which should be delivered tomorrow.

I'm now thinking hard about where to mount the main gear as i will obviously have to reinforce the fuse with some ply and tri-stock.

As best i can tell by looking at the pics in the manual, there is a former which is level with the leading edge of the wing.

The gear will have to go either just in front of, or just behind that former.

Which would be better? The axels about 1" in front of the leading edge, or about 1" behind the leading edge (which is about 3.5" or 2.5" in front of the CofG respectively)
