I was thinking I might get a foot out of the Mooney. The main gear
bone is attached to the wing spar bone and that is one piece, going
thru the fuselage. You're not sitting on the spar, but almost. The
wings are not attached to the cabin, the cabin is built around the
wing spar.

Yeah, a Mooney might only get a foot. They are not known for the most
"forgiving" landing gear.

That aside, I'll take a Mooney as a get there airplane, any day!
