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?
