Ok, it's time for another question:), I was looking at another Russian Long Ez's clone (pic1), and I'm wondering about their mods.

It's fairly easy to calculate wing surface area for conventional planes (pic2), but what about planes with strakes. May I use a conventional approach to calculate wing surface area? Or should I take those strakes into account?

For example:
VariEze pic3, Berkut pic4

Note, they are going to use flaps, and "moving" canard pic5.
