Skybolt, Marquart Charger, Fisher Celebrity, Acro Sport, Skyote, Hatz, Miniplane, Stolp. All of these biplanes I believe have fabric covered wings with flying wires that connect to both the main spars and also the rear spar. So how did Curtis Pitts design his wings such that he only used wires connected to the main spar? And his planes see high stresses being designed for aerobatics. Of course there is the Mong that uses a single strut and the Knight Twister that doesn’t even require wires. Just wondering.
