The struts on mine are holding up fine... They are aluminum tubing so they do bend easily but thiis has never been a problem on either my Pheonix or Seagull DC .. Both use the same struts and other parts...
The struts are just for show. I somethimes get lazy and just leave them off.. I have however put little ball joints on the wing fittings and the snap on part on the end of the struts and just snap it together.. Makes it much easier just to snap and un snap for me... I was having too much trouble with the pins on the clevisis with all the opening and closing...
