After much constipation. investigation, deliberation, perspiration, manifestation, transmigration, precipitation, delegation, reciprocation, prevarication, transpiration, revivification, vitrification, stratification, rustication, inspiration and obfuscation, I have the justification and aspiration to go with outboard of the engine landing gear.
I will transmutation the wing to use EE Lightning gear. I have made templates which I will use to carve out the space. I will have to remove the outer wing fence and add a bulge for the wheel. Once that's done, I will locate suitable nose gear.
Time for a celebration.
