This last weekend the threaded fitting at the top of the HS Lift Strut (connecting to the HS leading edge) broke. I've got the new fitting installed but cannot find anywhere what to adjust these to.
I'm seeing a lot about avoiding HS dihedral; no problem. But this forward facing lift strut doesn't address dihedral; it adjusts HS twist and incidence.
The good part of the story is that this happened at the Hood River fly-in and it couldn't have happened at a better place. They have a nice restoration hangar and they let me loose to weld the broken fitting so I re-installed it and flew home.
