Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Wing drag cables and fittings Hi John I'm not sure what other builders have done with their compression struts but I left mine free until after I did a pre-trammel of the wing pan el ( 3 piece wing) and then glued them in with T-88. The airleron has a seperate spar set which is shown in cross section in t he lower left hand corner of drawing five of the plans. I hope I understo od your question correctly and this is of some help. Ed G. es and fittingsFrom: amsafetyc@aol.comDate: Tue=2C 16 Dec 2008 04:15:21 +00 00Sorry guys obviously I am not in a position to offer advice as I am still looking at drawings while I wait for my spar material to come in. Please b are with me for what may appear foolish or premature questions: Are compres sion struts supposed to be free floating and not securely fastened glued or nailed?The aileron cut: does that cut include a rip of the spar or is ther e another piece that gets is added that runs along the spar? Where does tha t part of the aileron come from? For some reason I am not seeing where that part comes from and I don't see a call out for that part in the drawings. What am I missing?ThanksJohn Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry From: "Phillips=2C Jack" Date: Mon=2C 15 Dec 2008 13:10:32 -0500To: Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Wing drag cables and fi ttings Jack=92s tip on holding the compression struts in place reminded me of what I did on mine. I made little plywood sockets out of 1/8=94 plywood=2C jus t large enough for the end of the compression strut ti fit inside the socke t. I glued the sockets in place on the spar where the compression struts w ould go. The struts then just nest inside the sockets and are held in plac e by the compression applied by the drag and anti-drag wires. No nails or glue hold the struts in place. The sockets were just a way to hold them un til the wires were tensioned=2C and to keep them from slipping sideways due to shock loads. I don=92t have a good picture showing exactly what I did but you can see the end of the bottom right inboard compression strut sitti ng in its socket in this picture: Jack Phillips NX899JP Raleigh=2C NC From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-lis t-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Michael PerezSent: Monday=2C December 15=2C 2008 12:54 PMTo: pietenpol-list@matronics.comSubject: RE: Pietenpol-L ist: Wing drag cables and fittings Good note on the compression struts Jack!

Textor" John, The struts can be handled either way, I glued mine. I attached a picture of the aileron (inboard side). You add 3 pieces span wise. The first will end up being the spar that the aileron attaches to, the middle one is the aileron front spar and the last is the aileron rear spar. The piece lying on top is the inboard side of the aileron. Hope this helps.
