From: kinne russ West, SCAT tubing is well-known and used in nearly all certificated aircraft. Many sizes & styles.

It isn't getting any warmer here in Minnesota any time soon. I'll have to look at some picts of that too and see if I can make one.

Ideally this will be of a Firestar or one of the other Kolbs with a single strut per wing. The photo should have lots of pixels and ideally will show the whole airplane with the struts clearly obvious. A front view with a non-distracting background would be perfect. The article will be about the structural analysis of column buckling. Struts are nearly perfect examples of a column that's designed to avoid buckling, and the Kolbs with no jury struts are especially illustrative of the simple idealized case. The article won't reference a Kolb except for this photo and the photo's caption. You'll get credit for the photo but no payment. I've got a photo that I like of the FS II I used to own but it doesn't have enough pixels (it has 1632 x 1232 pixels, definitely need considerably more) and I no longer own that airplane, so I can't take another photo. Thanks!

As I work on the plane, the tops of the side rails get all beat-up and dirty. Maybe the tape will help.

It is rubber based, and really tough. I however took a thin piece of alum. beat it into a U over a like sized rod, placed it over the tubing and used a hammer to finish the bends around the rod.
