They also maintain the correct angle of incidence for the connected wing panels and are often braced with wires.

The plane was designed by Swen Swanson and it was of largely conventional configuration with tailskid undercarriage, but was interesting in that the pilot and passenger sat side by side in the open cockpit, and because as originally designed, the fully cantilever wings lacked interplane struts – the upper wing attaching directly to the top of the fuselage.
It had two-bay wings constructed of spruce and Ash, with ailerons on the upper wing and floats under the lower wingtips.
