Do the inboard sections of the F4U Corsair wing provide disproportionately less lift than the outboard sections, due to their steeper dihedral and the ductwork (oil cooler/supercharger inlets) on the leading edge? If so, any guesses as to how much I should increase the total span on my 70% F4U due to that loss?

Thanks,
Jay
