Hello Fellow Pieters!I've been lurking due to a hechuvalotta work over the last three years (http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_REPORT/stori ... right.html), but things are getting back to mornal, so I hope to become active on the list again.First thing up:I re-did my W&B during annual and I'm aft of the aft CG limit with low fuel and me in my winter togs. I am thinking about moving my wing back but I don't understand how the wing strut fitting at the wing allows this motion. The strut fitting at the fuselage clearly allows fore-and-aft movement. My fittings are similar to those shown at westcoastpiet.com for Charlie Miller's plane.Wing strut fitting at fuselage:http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Charlie ... 13.JPGWing strut fitting at wing:http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Charlie ... 335.JPGThe fittings at the wing of my Piet are similar to this (the strut end is different). I can see how this fitting allows a change in dihedral, but not a fore-and-aft change of the wing. Any thoughts much appreciated,Jeff________________________________This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use ofthe intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privilegedinformation.

Those are just like mine. The single bolt going through allows that little piecesticking out the end to pivot a little. If there were two bolts there, itwould be a problem like you mention.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
