I beleve it is the same as in the Extra although it was used in a classic. It is 1-1/3 in in dia. and hardened 4130 steel.

It is 1-3/8 " in dia. However, they are not symmetric. There is about 4.5 degrees of toe in in the one I have. I don't know how you measured 33 inches, but depending where you measure from on the axle tube you can see 33". The strut has roughly a 45 degree a bend about 7.5 inches from the axle. I don't remember what I paid for the pair, I'll have to think about it. Where are you located-Shipping?

He has heard some "horror" stories concerning oil injection. I am of the opinion that it is a good thing to have, but I have no real experience with that feature.

From: "alienwes" I premixed on my first powered parachute with a 582. I now have oil injection on my current machine. I asked the same question on another forum and like the following response best: The 582's oil mixture is a variable ratio mixture and if you disable the injector then you will be running the engine oil rich almost all of the time. When your engine is at idle the oil/fuel ratio is 100:1. When your engine is at full throttle the injector increases the oil volume to a ratio of 50:1. If you mix at 50:1 then you run too much oil at all throttle settings other than wide open. This will cause plugs to prematurely foul and will also cause excessive carbon build up inside the engine. Some people would rather change plugs more often and decarb the engine more frequently but my opinion is that the injector would be better off left alone. Just make certain that when you pre-flight look at the injector and make sure it is opening when you push the throttle to the open position. If it does not open then you will run too lean on oil and eventually burn up the engine, and PLEASE don't ask me how I know that! Let the oil injector work and do the job it was intended to do. I hope to be able to fly fixed wing one day. I have a 630 foot strip at my new property but will need to expand it to 900 feet. I really like PPC but there's something about these STOL capable, wing foldable, and great visibility planes! -------- Wesley Elliott Sport Pilot-PPC Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=426869#426869 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 08:01:34 PM PST US Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Clear Lake Flight Video From: Larry Cottrell I enjoyed it very much, and I wish that others would show us where they fly. The narration makes it so much better. The volume was a bit low, even with headphones, but for a first try I thought it was outstanding. I would be interested is seeing where your camera is mounted and the type of camera that you are using. I tried to use a regular Samsung video camera on my other wing the other day and it was terrible, would not focus, and even with the stabilizer built into the camera was awful.
