Ian,
Does this mod work for a monowheel-to-tri-gear conversion? Which would
differ by having the monowheel cut-out still present (whether covered
with a screwed-on non structural cover or not), or just for the tri-gear
that has the underside still intact?
I think this needs to be made clear.
Rgds.,
Duncan McF.

As others have said the tunnel is structurally important. The
attached PDF shows the reduction I made on my aircraft. The important
dimensions are the 5' and 7' shown in the section part of the drawing.
I have the full engineering calculations which show that this leave
plenty of strength in the tunnel. These dimensions could probable be
reduced to 4' and 5' but I do not have calculations for these.
I hope this helps
