Struts on my airplane made out of extruded aluminum. Front one or larger dimensions in comparison to rear. You can even see the difference in the picture below.
Recently I shifted whole airframe forward by 2 inches in reference to the wing as I show on this picture.
So, as a result front struts will get a little shorter, but rear ones will need to get longer. Depending on how much longer they will need to get, I will be probably looking for replacing them with longer ones. Wondering where do we go to get different sizes for extruded aluminum struts?
Second question is for 1.5° dihedral. Every wing is 14 feet long. So if I see this correctly to get 1.5° I should be able to see 4.4 inches difference on every wing. Tips will be that much higher. Just wanna make sure that I'm right on this.
