Gerard,
Please explain the "buffeting in flight"
The Lancair 300 series aircraft can experience laminar flow on the
bottom of the wing up to 60% aft of the leading edge. The cockpit closeout
rib is at about BL21, the outboard gear door hinge is at about BL48, or 27"
of 127" of wing (per side) - or about 21% of the wing span. It should be
an interesting experiment.
BTW, remember the increase in noise, drag and air into the
cockpit when the gear is lowered?
