Does anyone have info about rigging the Ultimate wings on a Pitts S1S? Is there any difference between rigging the Ultimate wings compared to the factory Pitts wings? The flying wires on my S1S started to vibrate a little more than they used to be and I'm trying to tighten them hoping to fix the problem.

I see that the Pitts S1T maintenance manual is recommending 675 lbs force on flying wires, 0 degree incidence at the root and tip for both upper and lower wings, 0 degree dihedral on upper wing and 2 degree dihedral on lower wing. Do I simply make it 0 degree dihedral on bottom wing for the Ultimate wings, then everything else should stay the same?
