not a good idea, the central tunnel contributes a lot of bending
stiffness and compression strength to the fuselage, (apologise for
clumsy termionology) Think about nosewheel loads and main wheel/wing
weight loads. This part of the fuselage is a beam.
Mods have been done, there is a mod to slim it down in the hips area but
needs care.
