: I would think the orientation of the stringer doesn't change it's
: strength but how it handles forces of different directions.
: Narrow side attached would be more resistant to horizontal side
: forces while wide side attachment would better resist vertical
: forces and pressures and that may have been Yost's intention.

: Ken S.

Strength varies as the square of the depth, stiffness as the cube. So if you had a 1 x 2 section attached to the frame on the wide side and you turned it around so it was attached on its narrow side, from the side it would have x2 strength and x4 stiffness. In addition in a SOF the additional depth serves to keep the material off the frames.
