Re: Installing and Rigging jury struts
Does anyone have tips & tricks related to the placement and alignment of the Jury Struts. I have a series 5 kit from Skystar that was initially created in 1994. I have purchased the S7 jury strut attach brackets for the top of the struts that attach to the spar. I also have installed the landing gear so when I put the wings on the plane to install the butt ribs and determine where the door stops rising upward, I planned to install the jury struts at this time. According to my documentation the floor of the fuselage needs to be level, I assume both fore/aft and side/side. And the jury struts are to be perpendicular to the floor of the plane. The instructions about the plumb line are a little confusing to me. So, I'm asking if there are any tricks/techniques to installing the struts that you would be willing to share?
