It looks like it will be this fall before I get to that part of building this second plane.

It took a little while to build it." ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:38:29 AM PST US Subject: Zenith701801-List: Re: Zenith701801-List Digest: 6 Msgs - 08/12/08 From: george.mueller@aurora.org Joe, I too am interested in making strut fairings for my 701. I was planning on trying to bend the 016 just using straps and a table, but maybe your fixture is a better way. Can you describe the fixture you made for shaping the strut fairings, what it was made out of, etc?

I had a set I was gonna fab up some struts with but they were so rusty I didn't. The cross section isn't 3 to 1 but I thought it would be ok for me anyway. They are often cheap as in near free.

What I have found so far is about 10 times the cost of chromalloy tube. It appears that they are hard to manufacture and are prone to cracking.
