Jeff,

I see what you mean, our wing is wider so the bungeecordholders are inside, no parts sticking out. I used your illustration again to make myself clear.



As you see the outer rib goes more outside.
The 45 x 12 mm stringers are in the middle and rest on top of the axlebox without having an extra support on it. The cutouts for the landinggear are cut trought these stringers, you reinforce the plywood arround it. As said before I don't know if this is a Fokker design, I think it was alterd by the LvA for unknown reassons.
The area your worried about is in this design also much stronger.
I can even jack ours up without taking the wing off, just put a little piece of wood under it for protection. The 45 x 12 stringers are right on top and on the bottom of the bugeecord holders.

Willem

P.S. We also don't have triangular blocks on the axlebox, the ribs just fit to it.
