Rick and Ellery,
Yes I have the round struts, is there an inexpensive fix for this or do I
need to get some streamline strut covers.
Also is it safe to fly like this ?
thanks.
Lee..

You have a couple options Buy the PVC streamline strut covers from Kolb or
Make your own out of aluminum either will stop the vibration of your struts

While you are going over it, check to make sure there is no "slop" at the connecting
points. Elongated holes, worn or undersize hardware (clevis pins or bolts),
tight brackets at the wing end.
Had an original Firestar with almost 200 hrs. Round struts, no flutter.
As Beauford (and others) sez.... worth what you paid for it.
