Here is the first strut carbon core. Streamlined aluminum tubing will eventually cover the carbon rods.


At the bottom of the pic is one of the failed 1/4" ply pads that I gave up on, because I just could not get the compound angles correct.


Now that I have the rods jigged up and free I think I will take another crack at 1/4" ply as the pads. I can see one set of angles (fore and aft). There also has to be angle that leans outward (bottom wing) and inward (top wing).


This part is about as frustrating as anything I have ever tried.
