If you don't want to use them because of set up or because of difficulty building them then maybe what I did on my TF cessna would help. I put hardwood blocks inside the wing and fuse where the struts screw into and drilled and tapped for 6/32 nylon bolts. Then went to my LHS and got some light metal airfoil shaped lengths and cut them to size. Flattened the ends and drilled to accpet the nylon bolts. Takes ten minutes to make and two minutes at the field to install.
Hope this helps.

Happy Flying
