REFLECTOR: box spar dimensions

[Douglas Holub]

Nevermind. I think I figured it out. Since the reason for the 2" is to set the angle of attack, it would only make sense to measure from the low point at the front of the spar.

  Maybe somebody out there knows something about the old box spar. (Probably not. I think they only made 6 or 7 airplanes with the box spar.) My spar is 9" tall in the front where it intersects the fuselage, and 8.5" in the back where it intersects the fuselage. The top of the spar is level. My plans say to attach the leading edge of the strakes 2" higher than the bottom of the spar cap where it intersects the fuselage. Should I measure 2" up from the front or the back of the bottom spar cap?
