I have a long time SAS1 project and I'm not sure how many previous owners were involved. I do not know who started this project, After many delays trying to figure out why things weren't necessarily according to plans I've managed to hang the wings, After squaring/leveling the center section and leveling the upper wings I discovered that after setting 2 degrees dihedral on the lower wings the "I" struts were 1 1/2 inches too short. When bolted into place the dihedral is 3.4 degrees. Outside of remaking the "I" struts does anyone have any ideas?

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
