Ok, so I'm over my fague and I'm back into the design again.
One of the problems I'd been avoiding was the relocation of the main gear from inside the strakes to out into the wings.
This allows me to have an easier to manage retraction mechanism, I really like the idea of going pneumatic, as I can get some small pneumatic rams pretty cheap, and if I set it up to run from small, easily in-cockpit changable CO2 canisters, I can eliminate the need for a compressor.
Now all I have to do is work out how I distrubute the weight over the wing section, and how do I operate the wheel cover flap?
