's post has a nugget in it, however. The fuel from the trim tank might have been the source of the "bi" in the "furcated" slick, no? Also, look at the cutaway of the area you posted and notice the "bracket clevis tab" assemblies (six of them), and the size of the tail. Then see if anything comes to mind from a stress perspective. Are you certain the fuel is in the HS (s)?

Thank you for the rules data. I've yet to work any numbers on stress or design considerations, but at the outset, it's hard to avoid thinking that given the stated purpose of the "Arm", and its photographed deficits, the design is......strange.
