    Subject: Firefly Lift Struts
    From: Herb <herbgh@nctc.com>
    I built a set of new wings for my First Firefly...used 5" H sections as is used on the Firestar... Now I have a set of wings...built , covered and painted...and am wondering if anyone has built single lift struts in place of the dual ones? I have streamlined material to cover them with... Thinking that a cro molly tube with the same fittings as the Firestar would work for the fuselage end and some sort of "T" for the wing end...That is...the lift strut would resemble a "T" with the lift strut welded to a cross piece of cromolly...and a long bolt would go through the tangs and the cross tube on the lift strut... anyone ever seen this done? Wondering what size cro molly tube would be required... ? As to the Firefly..finally got some color on the wings...and next and last is to add some color to the fuselage..ala the Factory Paint job...
