Slow Stick Wing reinforcement braces
Hello folks!
I saw that many of you were having problems replacing the alluminum dihedral brace for the LE and TE of the GWS Slow Stick, some of you avoiding it entirely, so having made a set for myself and having left-over tubing, I cut up some more to sell for a few bucks. Remember, this is a must modification if you don't want your wings to fold! Most people make theirs out of brass, I make them from stainless steel, which is a lot harder to find, more expensive, and a a ton stronger! Stainless has twice the Module of Elasticity over Brass and has a Tensile strength 5/3 that of brass. Despite this, Stainless even weighs slightly less! You can read more about my braces here.
So once the folks I sent them out to get them I'd like to hear what you guys think!
For more information and pricing, please see http://michaels.rchomepage.com/ssbraces.html
Thanks!
