BJ,
After a prop strike on a Rotax 912/914 the gearbox should be removed and sent to
an approved repair facility for inspection. While the gearbox is off, check
the run out of the crankshaft. As I recall .002 is the limit, but check the Rotax
heavy maintenance manual to be sure.

| Subject: | Series-7 SS Streamlined Strut Fairings |
Hello,
I am new to this list. I am considering building a Series-7 SS. I have
been studying the aircraft, and the kit options, determining what I would
order in a kit.
I visited with another builder and looked at the streamlined strut fairings
available as a kit option. They seemed rather heavy to me. I'm curious - has
anyone found a good way to install lighter-weight streamlined strut
fairings? I know that there are aluminum strut fairings available for
ultralights, but I don't see how you could install them over the jury strut
brackets, or how you would secure them in place. Just curious.
Thanks,
Dave Van Lanen

A friend of mine used the solid wood farings supplied in the kit, but he drilled
2" lightening holes through their length.
He collected over 5# of wood chips...
You cover the farings with fabric anyway, why not give them the swiss cheese look?

Go to Lowes get you some stryfoam molding that goes around windows and
doors. Glue two pieces together
and router out the large end to match the tubing,glue it on and cover with
fabric. Light and looks good. Did
my Model; II like that. Very strong also.
