I've never had a passenger complain about the diagonals bothering them on the frontof the seat back. I think they angle up to the longeron enough to not bea problem. One of the things about the Piet that adds character I guess.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 12:56:52 -0700Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Flying like a Peregrine Falcon

Chris,I don't have my cabane strut fittings in place yet, but I did notice this apparentoversight in the plans when I was putting my fuselage sides together. Thefiller block makes sense, since there will be interference between wood and metalat that location IF the cabane fittings are fastened to the vertical sticks.Therefore it makes sense to shift the fittings about an inch to the rear -hence the filler block. But as you noted, if a filler is only added at the rearfitting, the cabanes will not end up parallel. That's why I also put fillerblocks in at the front attachment points as well.
