I've seen steps *below* the wing on low-wing planes and that seems to be OK. It's the area just above the wing, near the fuselage, that can so easily be disrupted by putting your hand out there. It's fun, try it. (Experiment at altitude, not near the ground.) :-) Ed Ed Burkhead http://edburkhead.com/Ercoupe/index.htm East Peoria, Illinois ed -at- edburk???head.??com (remove the ? marks and change -at- to @)
