Hi Jeff,

I made my owm out of airo tubing from my local hobbie store and I did not bother to much with installing the kit one's. From all reports they are functional the struts. They came up very good and they stay connect to the wing at all times when travelling to the field, the only mod is the underside of the plane wear you attatch the strut too. I also used JB weild to fuse the alluminum together then some fine grit sand paper to smooth the joint before sanding then painting it, very nice job once complete.

I will post some photo's tomorrow to give you some idea, it only took a couple of day's to complete.

Regards
Jason
