Where can I stay nearby?Jim, I am still interested in those Model A engines. Are you still out there?Ron ________________________________________________________________________________

Here's the picture:http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/P6210018.JPGThere is a bolt (vertical) that holds the attach fitting (strap) into the end of the streamline tubing and another (fore-and-aft) that holds the attach fitting to the wing. In this picture (John Dilatush's "Mountain Piet") there is the added feature of a wing tiedown point, but you can see that the X-brace wires have tabs that the bolt through the wing attach fittings capture.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________Find a local pizza place, music store, museum and morethen map the best route! http://local.live.com?FORM=MGA001______ ... __________

And remember to design the Jury Struts to be able to adjust for & aft, with the bolts in the lateral direction. I made my Lift Strut Attachments accordingto the plans...I call them 'Lollypop Fittings'. The two bolts running perpendicular to each other allows the wing to pivot. I have a good picture ofhow I did the lower Jury Strut Attachment at my web site, down toward the bottom of the page at:http://nx770cg.com/Wing.htmlIt's best if you have a high speed connection, because I have so many pictures there to download.I now have some actual moving parts on my Tailwind, and I just recently updated the 'Next Project Tailwind' page too, at:http://nx770cg.com/NextProjectTailwind.htmlChuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________
