Default RE: 40 pitts structural problem

The problem seems to be the anchor points, in that they are not angled to correspond with the angle of the struts.

In turn this will put a bending force on the struts that should not really be there.

I could foresee this making the plane a bit weaker if it cartwheels or hits a wing on landing, further leading to possible in flight failure later.
