Ive attached a few pictures of them for your review. To describe the fairings, they are 6061-T6, .016 aluminum cut to size and bent to wrap around the standard, round, 701 strut. They come pre-drilled and ready to install. They are attached to the round factory strut using 3/32 rivets at each end and by the 3/16 bolt attaching the Jury Struts to the Wing Strut. I also provide photo installation instructions and all the rivet hardware to make the installation. After reviewing the attached material please feel free to e-mail me at your convenience with any additional questions you may have about the performance increases or installation.

I use my custom extruded strut that I have for my floats and have had CNC fittings on all ends. This replaces the 4130 tube that you now have. This is not a cheap alternative, the .016 wrap will provide the cruise increase. I have wrapped many 701's struts and will continue to do so in the future, but this streamline strut kit offers a significant quality change to the wrapping of your struts.

The .025 teardrop 6061-t6 sheet covers that you can make yourself added 8-lbs to the plane. I think these struts were 4 0r 5 times this weight. Am I correct?

What I quoted from Mark is all I have. But at that price your wallet will be lighten enough to compensate for the extra weight of the extrusions. :-) -- Craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-zenith701801-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Les Goldner Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 7:06 PM Subject: RE: Zenith701801-List: Re: Install CH750 Struts on CH701 If this streamlined strut kit is the one made in Canada and announced about a year ago, they were very heavy.
