Bruce,...

I had three Dreamers in my time. The first one never had the interplane struts on it. I flew the heck out of that little plane. Those short little wings really don't need them, (in my opinion, of course). But feel free to make your own decision on that. I'd just hate to see you agonize (and not be flying the plane) over something you really don't need.

Sincerely,
Steve T.
