After getting further into my Skybolt restoration project I'm running into several differences such as no mass balance tabs, only 2 stringers (as opposed to 3 or 5) and slave struts that look more like those of the Starduster; they are attached directly to the ailerons, aft of the aileron hinge ( as opposed to the Skybolt which are forward of the hinge). I would like some feedback as to whether or not I should revert back to the traditional Skybolt slave strut.
