| Subject: | Re: Parallel struts and Gene's question |
Gene,
I know you are waiting for your answer, but there is not much you can do if
you already have your fuselage made. You must locate the strut attach fittings
at the strongest point, and that is going to be where the ash pieces are. The
stress of the up- lift on the wings needs to be transmitted across the bottom
of the fuselage from side to side, through those ash pieces (and don't forget
the steel strap that is shown on the gear drawing in the F & G manual). As I
stated before, I was faced with this same thing. I will be making all four of
my struts individually adjustable for length, so it will not matter whether
my struts are parallel when I need to adjust the wing fore and aft. I hope
someone can finally answer you that has a completed airplane.

I replied to a question about bending steel, and my reply never showed
up on my screen. It may have gotten on the list, but not on the senders
(me ) screen. This happened to a bunch of us a year or so ago. Leon S.

Hi Leon,
The same thing happens to me from both computers (same email address) I use
to access the list. My posts always wind up in suspect spam. This happens
no matter how many times I tell the spam blocker csfog is a legit address.
It happens when I reply or start a new line.

Before access to the Internet? Ha! When you first bought your plans in 69 I
had just started going to college with a slide rule on my belt because they
hadn't even invented the calculator yet. It was still around 20 years before
the Internet would be invented so we could communicate like this. Still am
amazed at the people who built airplanes from plans without the Internet
(like you did Bob for a good deal of your project).
Anyhow congratulations and good luck on that first flight.
Rick H.
