imho its the legs, and its a tension strut btw. At very high angles of
attack the load pulls the wings forward. I found that hard to believe
too but it's true. It was first realized when an early glass glider
clapped its wings in a high G pullup and they clapped in front of the
pilots eyes. He survived to tell the tail.
