Default RE: How to make tail struts?

For optimum strength, place the attachment 2/3 of the span out from center. If you are using rigid struts, you can sometimes omit the lower (underside) struts and you use both the compresive and tensile strength of rigid struts. If you use wire or kevlar, you must use both upper and lower flying wires for them to be effective as they work only in tension.
