Ed Snyder & I put adjustable Piper fork ends on the rear struts only.Where I found this most helpful was when I changed from a Ford to acontinental engine.To move the CG fwd ( lighter engine ) I moved thewing back 3.5 inches. The fork ends allowed me to adjust the length of the rear struts.Mike B ( aircamper N687MB )Ed Snyder I put adjustablePiper fork endson the rear struts only. Where I found this most helpful was when Ichanged froma Ford to a continental engine.To move the CG fwd ( lighter engine ) Imoved thewing back 3.5 inches.
