the bottom of the fuselage without foam - that area actually had

It was just right. I don't know why they say cut it square, although it could be
to avoid collecting mud. I cut ours round and made a round removeable bulkhead
to suit.
One thing I didn't think about was what happens when you have a puncture? Now I
know, courtesy G-NDOL, the brake calliper hits the ground and the tyre gets
ruined. It would be difficult fitting the calliper above the axle but it could
well be worth the effort.
