Subject: | Streamlined Lift Struts |
I changed the subject line to better facility search through the
archives later on.
I like the Carlson extrusions. Cheaper than the plastic covers.
My MKIII kit came with stream lined aluminum extrusions. I doubled up
on them by inserting a 4130 round tube to act as the primary load
carrying part. Used the stream lined ext for drag reduction only.
Larry C and I put streamlined fairings on my MKIII gear legs, but could
not determine any advantage and removed them.

Hi Jerry, I ordered a set of the 3:1 strut fairings last week from U-FLY-IT.
They=99re suppose to be be here tomorrow. I=99ll let you know h
ow they are. I=99m not real sure that the increase in performance will
be worth the cost? Time will tell I guess. They seem like good people and t
hey cut them to the length that requested. No charge. That aero strut tubing
looks real interesting. I just don=99t know how they would compare th
e stock Kolb struts. Maybe someone could way in on that?

So John, you feel that the aluminum aero strut should not be used unreinforc
ed? I respect your opinions on these matters. If you look at the prices plus
attachment fixings they=99re actually a lot more expensive then the p
lastic fairings.
I ordered a set of fairings last week. They were $158.00 for a pair cut to l
ength. I=99m hoping they improve the performance a little and take the
vibration out of the standard round struts.

Subject: | Streamlined Lift Struts |
I chose to go the route of the 4130 based on the amount of weight I
anticipated carrying and the weather and terrain I would be flying and
landing on. Nothing scientific in my choice. Just made me feel better.
This was before I made my first flight to Alaska and I really had no
idea what conditions I would be confronted with. I would rather be over
built than under built. In the end I was glad I made that choice.
I put a lot of hours on the factory MKIII with aluminum streamlined
struts, carrying passengers, and had no qualms about flying with them.
The lift strut fittings Carlson makes look good.

You are more than welcome.
We always overbuild, it adds weight, increases my confidence, makes me
comfortable, and doesn't seem to have affected performance. Still
waiting for another MKIII to outperform Miss P'fer.
Low, slow, and reliable!!!

I used the plastic ones over my normal Firestar struts, and used the extra
to make gear leg farings as well. I believe that it added about 3 MPH. I
think it is worth doing. Like Bill when I started with my firestar I was
doing about 55 mph. Clean up this, clean up that and now I can cruise 67
reliably and 72-74 occasionally.
