I am starting to rig the wings and have a question about the apparant washout onthe plans.The cabane strut plans say 2 different lengths to get an angle of incidence andthe lift struts are the same length both front and rear.Is the center section supposed to have incidence 2 degrees positive and the angleof incidence at the lift struts 0 degrees?Just want to make sure before scrapping more parts.Does anyone rig the wing without washout?Bob Seibert Confused in Texas________________________________________________________________________________

I don't have my plans in front of me right now, but what is the height ofthe fuselage at the front and rear attach points? I'm probably a couple ofmonths from having the same question. Cabane struts are assembled, but notthe lift struts.Gene-----Original Message-----

Bob,I don't have my 1934 plans with me at work but do have a copy of F&G Manual.The lower longeron curves and the top longeron is straight, the attach pointfor the front lift strut is 2 3/8 closer to the top longeron than the rearlift strut attach point.The numbers on the F&G plans are different but the idea is the same.Skip>The cabane strut plans say 2 different lengths to get an angle of incidenceand the lift struts >are the same length both front and rear.>Is the center section supposed to have incidence 2 degrees positive and theangle of incidence >at the lift struts 0 degrees?>Bob Seibert >Confused in Texas________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Bob...The plans show the rear lift strut fitting being 1" farther from the upper longeron (lower) than the front lift strut fitting. So with the rear cabane being 1" shorter and the lift struts being the same length the whole wing should be an even 1" lower at the rear spar than the front spar ie. 2 degree incedence but zero wash out. At least that's the way I'm reading it. Opinions may vary.
