I thought I had this figured out... but it looks like I don't.
Below are photos taken from the Radial Skybolt plans.
- side view of the fuselage showing location of brackets "A" and "B"
- shot showing where the struts and sway wires attach (forward view is a little confusing as to whether -80 goes from top front to lower back, and lower front to upper back, or just side-to-side)
- number of sway wires (not shown here)
* (4) of -80 (length 46")
* (2) of -81 (length 37 1/2")
* (2) of -82 (length 27 5/8")
- -70 and -73 are struts
- shots of bracket "A" and bracket "B"
From what I see with the number of sway wires, I need to have a bracket similar to bracket "B" up at station 0-0 instead of bracket "A"
Are any other biplanes set up with an upper wing attachment similar to this?
