Michael and Charles thank you for your kind words. I can say many parts ende
d up in the trash, especially the metalwork. The site is dated will have to
get it updated. Also, because of your comments I will shift some time back t
o the project. Again thanks!

| Subject: | Re: Riblett 612 Incidence? |
Does anyone have any advice on going with such a setup to make changes to the wing
incidence? I have designed the struts to use sold 4130 5/8 rod ends which
I have yet to look up the specs but I would bet they could lift a tank. I still
need to design the wing attachment brackets which would bolt to the rod ends.

For what it is worth we used the riblett 612 rib with cabanes the same
length and our piet with a continental 0 200 has 35 hours and at 2500
RPM cruises at 95 MPH and at 2700 it does 103 and stalls at 27 MPH. It
handles great and flies hands off. Maybe we did something wrong but we
are pleased with it. Happy flying... I have sent pictures before but
I tried to send a picture and they said it took up too much space. Bob

| Subject: | Cub Struts up or down? |
I have cut down Piper Cub struts. Which way should they be mounted? Thick
end up or down?
I know which way they are mounted on a cub. With adjustable the tapered end
down.
However, An old homebuilder, very knowledgeable, who has built several
planes, (the most recent is a flybaby.) said he would put them on with the
adjustable part up. But he was not fixed in his opinion.
What have y'all done?

BTW the "No Jury Struts" guy was at my hangar and he was again adamant
that anyone putting struts on is a fool. I listened and told him I was
going to put them on anyhow. I told him that I had researched the accident
reports and did not find a single incident of wing failure in the FAA data
base.
NOTE: the British Pietenpol must be built to a specific standard, that
standard has been examined by structural engineers. Their Pietenpol design
has A jury strut, only on the front strut. None on the rear. Does anyone
know why?
