Larry,
Many builders have successfully used aluminum struts on their Pietenpols. There's
lots of discussion and info in the archives. The aluminum extrusions are definitely
less expensive than new 4130 streamline tubing, but different attachment
details need to be used, since welding aluminum can greatly reduce it's strength.

I am using aluminum on mine. I believe there are a few flying Pietenpols th
at use them as well.- The aluminum struts will save you some weight.
Here is where I bought them:

Michael Hi.
Regarding Aluminium against 4130 profile and strength.
Is their any rule of thumb about comparative strengths.
I would like to change my round 1/2" 4130 Jury Struts for streamlined and wondered
whether aluminium would be suitable.
Regards
Gerry

The pre war Aeronca Chiefs used alum struts, but they were wider than J-3
struts.

Gerry, replacing round with streamline is a good idea. I can't comment on c
omparative strengths, however I will say that my jury struts will be stream
line aluminum.- I don't believe these small struts see much stress, but t
hose that know will chime in.

Hi Gerry
I have a set of Aluminum struts and jury struts, I picked them up from
Carlson Aircraft in East Palastine, Ohio. I also picked up aluminum ends
for the struts. I think the total for everything was about $700. It was
worth every penny. They are for my new Piet, under construction at this
point.

My struts are 2.44" x 1.00". See them at carlsonaircraft.com .The struts
are actually pretty cheap $63 each, its the fitting that are pretty
expensive. I am going to polish mine and try to make them look like chrome.
