I'm doing a school project on the stresses throughout Pitts wings during high-g loading. I need to model a rudimentary structure for the wings and I'm not too familiar with the placement of the struts. I was wondering where exactly they are attached. Are they attached to a spar or a rib? Also, I need to know the materials used. I believe the main spars are wood and the struts are some kind of metal, but I'm not sure what kind. If you could help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

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.
