I have not tried this method, but will when the time
comes.
Try a pony type bar clamp with a purpose built swage
of 1/4 flat steel tapered to the I.D. of the strut
tube. The swage should be polished and radiused and
used with oil.
I think a minimum radius should be 1/16 inch, but a
full 1/8 inch may prove better.
If the tube wants to bow when clamping then fab a
wooden jig to captivate it.
The strut cap edges should be radiused to match the
swage.
While clamp pressing in the swage some persuasion to
the outside of the tube may be required, this could be
accomplished with a hardwood "dolly" and plastic
mallet, with gentle loving taps.
Be sure to leave a tang on the swage with a hole in it
to help remove it from the strut.
Maybe a 701 kit builder could peek at the end of a
jury strut and inform us "economy" plans builders of
the radius God intended.

I have used this light for years in my Super Cub it works great to light the entire
panel and it is inexpensive. I adjust the light intensity with a potentiometer
on the panel. I am putting two in my CH701.

Jim, Brian,
I was determined to follow the manual, putting my jury struts together.
Even though I had seen "The better way". Robert Kube, of Montague, CA
devised this "better way". He machined ends to fit into the ends of the
jury tubes. The jury tubes did not need to be squeezed at all. If you
know someone with a machine shop, this would be the way to go.
Start with 60601 T6 bar stock the same diameter as the tube, turn down
one end to fit into the jury tube about an inch. Machine the other side
so that the sides are flat and the thickness is right for fitting into
the attachment points. A hole is drilled through the jury strut with the
piece in place. They are held in place with what looks like A5 rivets.
(He also used aluminum streamlined struts from a RANS S12 I believe; he
machined the fitting points for those as well).
I have pictures I took when I went down there! If you want me to send
them, just let me know and I will send a private email.

Take a look at

You may find it in a car store specializing in custom car mods.
Any 12v source will run it right off your power bus. A 12v dimmer can
control it needed.

Hal,
does the 90V 1 kH power for these lights produce any intercom or radio
interference?

I must say that I thought the Zenith approach was a bit hokey for the jury
struts. I substituted .50" solid stock that I rounded on the ends and then
ground flats to reduce it to 3/8's on the end where it was drilled. Looks
much more professional, does not have to be sealed, and added only a small
amount of weight,

Tried this once but it never showed up on the list.
Hi List
While Im waiting on my inspection I have started to make out my checklists.
I was wondering what people were using for speeds-Vx, Vy, Va, rotation,
decent, best glide, slips, final, etc. Perhaps speeds could be for gross wt.
and one up lightly loaded. I know these numbers will vary by plane and
engines but this info would be nice to have from various pilots and
configurations. Perhaps Mark from the 601 site and Jon from the 701 site
could organize and post this info. I have a 601HD with a Rotax 912UL. Anyone
out there have numbers for this configuration?
Thanks
John
