Don't forget figure in the steel strut weight, when figuring the weight difference,
between the faired steel struts and the all aluminum extruded ones.

I think Marks extruded Aero Strut solution is a first class solution. I have no
idea how much they weigh but I have a feeling they are heavier than the round
steel strut with the .016 aluminum fairing solution. I have not weighed the complete
package yet, but I know that all four strut fairings including hardware
weigh less than 4.6lbs.
As soon as I can pull a strut with fairing off my airplane I will do that and weigh
it. Ill post the information as soon as I can get it done. My plane is not
here right now so it will take until next week.

All.
I have Mark's struts and they are about 20 lbs heaver than the round tubes
with fairings on them. They are much more ridged than the round tube, not
that I think the 701 needs it. They certainly look nice and finished and no
question as to the angle of incidence when you mount them, it is built in to
the machined end pieces.
Although there may be some misalignment with the ends ( just like the
factory single piece struts), they fit good, On mine I machined out the
slots a little bigger to make up for the misalignment.
I have never flown with the round tube struts so I can't say how much of a
difference there is between the two. At gross weight I cruse at 5300 rpm at
about 85 mph. I have the Rotax 912 uls and the prop is a Woodcomp with 14
degrees of pitch, wot at level flight is 5800 rpm and 100 mph. I could
increase the pitch a couple of degrees and get some more speed, but that
isn't why I built this plane. Climb out is at 5500 rpm, I could decrease
the pitch and make climb out at 5800 and get better climb but the current
pitch seems fine to fly off my 40, then we will see.

| Subject: | Woodcomp Prop Bolts on Rotax 912S |
I'm looking for a bolt type/number that would be used on a Woodcomp prop bolted
to a Czech built Zenith. The bolts are 140 mm long. I assume they are metric
size.
I'm trying to find new bolts/nuts to fit this application. Any help will be appreciated.
