Brief Description:  Tip Up Frame Strut 4: Aft attach bracket

I put the skin back on the frame. I bolted the forward strut block on with a couple #3 bolts.

I read the plans and drawings to locate the aft attach bracket. The drawing says make it a minimum 9.xx inches and the plans say make it 10.15 inches. So I figured 10.15 is greater than the minimum called out on the drawing so I went with the 10.15 inches for the space between the studs that hold the strut.

Besides it is easy to see that eventually the strut bottoms out and it if bottoms out before the canopy is full closed the strut will put a lot of force on the side rail. No need for that.
