Pietenpol-List: Position of ash struts, extended fuselage

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: Ray Krause
On the extended fuselage (Corvair Engine) should the ash strut be 10" or 12" fromthe front of the fuselage? Is that dimension to the rear edge of the strut?--------Harv, 485PBRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Thanks for the response. I was going to do what you have suggested, however afterthis post I thought I might send the question to Andrew Pietenpol. His responsewas the front ash board should be centered at 12" from the front, but thesecond MUST be 27-1/2" behind the first.--------Harv, 485PBRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Position of ash struts, extended fuselage
