The landing strut loads go into the fuselage. When the wing stops lifting it
becomes a dead weight pressing downwards. That load goes down the strut
to the fuselage as well. " All roads lead to Rome." as the saying goes.

DJ,
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I learn something new all the time from
this list, even if I am just a casual observer!
BTW - I would assume then that the Pietenpol rear LG strut arrangement would
be stonger than that of the GN-1, as the landing loads would be trasmitted throught
the attach fittings, into the wing struts, through the wings, and then back
down on the other side, thereby creating a box (similar to a biplane wing
configuration) ; whereas the GN-1 loads would be completely absorbed by the lower
longeron, putting in it shear between the rear LG attach fitting, and the
rear strut attach point. Just a thought.

the easiest way to tell a GN-1 from a Piet is the landing gear. On the Piet
the front and rear tubes of the gear meet up at the lift struts. On a GN-1
the rear tube meets the fuselage in front of the rear lift strut. Thats because
GN-1's use a J-3 landing gear.
And yes... this one look spretty scary indeed. I'd give about $3000 for it.
