Craig,

Truly...suggestions and feedback are most welcome (as are critiques as  
well!). I must admit I'd scratched my head a bit early on, thinking  
much like you have...and no doubt your particular suggestion would be  
doable...certainly for a trigear, and for a mono as well, as long as  
one is not wedded to the standard monowheel trailer. The configuration  
shown is designed to limit the amount of projection of that portion of  
the fairing which is bonded to the fuselage so as not to conflict w/  
the wings when stowed on the trailer.

It's certainly possible that an intrepid trigear builder may take the  
moldings and do just what you've suggested.
