well, but they would have to be quite high to clear the landing gear and
would get dirty quickly.
I haven't seen monowheel builders report that they've done this, and this
may be the reason.

I have put 2 gascolators in the tunnel behind the wheel (Europa Classic
with large tunnel). There is just enough space even with a mudguard fitted
to the wheel. Time will tell whether the mudguard will prevent dirt
building up inside the tunnel. I know Jim Naylor has had a mudguard fitted
for at least 2 years so he would be able to comment if he is reading this.
