Sorry for the big wait! I've got a lot that I've been doing!

uh oh
I am a simple man, I see caravan, I like.
Fun useless fact on Caravans, that bulge in front of the leading edge on B models (I call them shoulders) are the wing routes of the little caravan. (The A model, which is 2-3ft shorter) when Cessna stretched the A to make the B they moved the wings back and as a result this bump is there, it was not removed to keep parts the same on the assembly line. Additionally the A model has a triangular cut out only on the left flap near the route of the wing to allow for the cargo door to be opened with the flaps down. It would hit the door if the cut out wasn’t there, this feature is also on B and EX models despite it not being needed
