The need appears to be in tension. I can now use the same inboard and outboard mounts for a thin cable and re-gain the 15 knots I lost with the 1 1/2 inch round struts. A single cable through the cockpit would be best, but I am worried about it breaking off--I don't know if you saw the movie Ghost Ship. So too, I can fair the struts and put them on again in less than 5 minutes if additional NTSB/FAA/Zenith data demonstrates a need for strength in compression. I just met with the Sec. of the Air Force (Ret.) and just last week, my friend, another girl from IMSA, finished basic training at the Air Force Academy. Really cool! Of the 19 of us hired, 10 were grad students, 3 seniors, 3 juniors, 2 sophomores and 1 freshman.

The plane is pretty much sold and I have a deposit on it, but a deposit is just that, so if you want to stop buy and you like it, we can talk. The people who want it are on the east coast and are planning a trip for early November. I have some reservations about that. They told me that if I change my mind, they would understand, since they are coming so late. Let me know if you want to stop by and look and we will see what happens.

Just wanted to clarify. Larry In a message dated 9/27/2010 3:05:35 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, LHusky@aol.com writes: I am sorry, I am away from the house.
