On the long fuselage plans the flying strut fittings are 10 5/32" long. On theoriginal plans the fittings are about 6" long. The distance from the center isgiven to a 1/4" bolt, but not the bolt that the strut attaches to. Does anyone know where the longer flyin strut fitting should be attached on thespar and where on the plans can I find this?Dennis________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: flying strut fittingsDennis,If I understand your question,you are first looking for a plan of the strut fitting. It is located on the supplemental fuse plan for the extended (long ) fuse drawing. The location on the spar can be established with the 1/4 inch hole in the spar center then rotate the fitting into an angular position with enough tab below the spar and none protruding above and just line it up with thelift strut in prolongation. Clear as mud?Maybe it will help. That's the way I did mine. Not everything like that is laid out in the plans especially the supplements.Corky________________________________________________________________________________ ETAtAhQUJj1k6TtNcLnizWYSBKc9a0nxZwIVALbMSY25HRMrZ16bDaRsR7Z6HG1s

Thanks Corky: I am not much of a communicator. I have the plans, just want to know where theygo on the spar. I will try what you suggested. Want to make the attach pointabout 1/4" longer though.Dennis E ----- Original Message -----
