Pietenpol-List: Jury strut attachment

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: John Hofmann
Good People,I'm fabricating my jury strut attachment for the spar ala Mike Cuy and Jack Phillips.I was wondering what size bolts everyone has used to hold the fitting tothe spar. The Grega plans, which appear to be a copy of the Baby Ace design,uses AN4's. The attachment to the lift strut is only an AN3. It looks to me thatAN4's through the spar is overkill, not to mention weakening the spar evenmore. Rick Schreiber________________________________________________________________________________

Where did summer go? Seems like just a few days ago we were being rained upon at Brathead. I just snapped this outside my office. If anyone has a line on Federal 1500 skis let me know.

RickAN 3 is enough, the jury strut is only to avoid a harmonic and flexing in the main strut.There should hardly be any load on it.Do make sure that the jury strut is not centered on the main strut but a few inches off to one site.HansNX 15KV-----Original Message-----
