It takes some work, but they do look great polished. I polished all of my wing
and cabane struts at one time and my arms were quite sore the next day or two.

Dan makes a good point about the angle and holes. I drilled the rear most h
ole in the inserts/struts first, (I believe) then once the wings were on an
d adjusted, I marked and drilled the other insert/strut hole(s).
-
There may also be a gap between the strut insert and the wing attach bracke
ts as shown in Dan's pictures. I made a spacer to fill in.- Just some FYI
.
-
I wonder if the wing support cable fitting can be inserted between the inse
rt and wing attach fitting to help take up the gap? Just some FYI.

Forwarded the link to a friend at our flying club who has been an owner of a Cub
for many years and will be turning 80 in a couple of days. Took the photo of
him yesterday prepping for a flight around the patch.

Just finished up some electrical loose ends, and, after having the airframe
dismantled for fabric and paint, I just HAD to run it again.

For a really cool affect after polishing them get some clear for chrome and
add some candy pigment and make colored polished alum.

Disclaimer: This whole idea of the alum struts, inserts, etc. is not mine.
I unashamedly copied it from (Brodhead visit '05?) our very own, highly res
pected Top Curmudgeon, Larry Williams, from the great state of Arkansas. M
aybe it was his original idea. Don't know.
