Bill,
i am moving this to a new thread with just i-strut discussion.
i did check i-strut bolt to tailpost and it was within 1/2" on top wing.
My sketch using S1S plans and filling out the spars and rotating 1.5 degrees so the layout is plumb to the world measures 11 11/16". i am not at the airport but i will check tomorrow and report back.
i had the old strut in place when i tried my full sized plan template so the 1 degree washout in the top wing would rotate the strut back.
i am making your rigging boards and notice the drop down block for the S2 is not on your plans, does the plan work for all airfoils on S1 and S2's ?

PS; let me know if i did not draw it right, i will send the AutoCad file to your e-mail.
i do not have your e-mail, mine is [email protected], send me one and i will fwd the file.
