Default cobra trailer style wing beds

It's often convenient to add a second leading edge pad further towards the rear of the trailer so you can move the wing back far enough to access the cockpit without removing the fuselage.

Also consider draping a microfiber cloth over the pad to avoid wing surface abrasion caused by dirt on the original pad surface - you can wash the cloth now and then.

(2nd pad further towards the rear),
On the span where do the pads usually lie? 3/4 out from root?
Thanks,
