the drawing does state that the wing struts are the same length but the
cabane struts are shown as different lengths to make the 2 degrees incidence.
while it is a little confusing and not the way it would be drawn today- it is
there

So if my airplane sits at a deck angle of about 12.5 degrees in the 3-point attitude
and the different length cabane struts add another 2 degrees of incidence
to the wing, my wing is at about a 14.5 degree angle of incidence when I three-point
it. Pretty close to what the Eppler code brings up on paper for full
stall. Hmmm... maybe Mr. Pietenpol had a home-brew wind tunnel out behind the
barn, powered by a Model A up on blocks with a leather belt running the wind
tunnel blower ;o)
