jury strut question
Good Jack,
My struts are held in by adel clamps too. Still working well after 29
years.
Cheers,
Kirby

IV speedster jury strut question
Thanks for the response. I think I have a way to make them fit, have
some 1" adel clamps on order to fit to the lift struts. If they were
the round jury struts, I could "tweak" them into shape, but these are
streamlined, and powder coated to boot, so I have to make the plane fit
them, and the supplied clamps, don't. I did find the lift struts were
not quite straight, and that helps a bit. There's always something else
to work on while parts are on their way!

Hi Jack
I built my Kitfox 3 with 4 wings in 1993. The jury strut fittings
were a little
off too. I think if the don't push or pull the wing braces you
are ok.
