These look promising for wing struts but the engineer comes out in me..1) What about for the centersection struts?? If they'll work for highlyloaded wing struts (handling cantilever loads) shouldnt they easily handlecentersection loads, too. Hmmm.2) Are the allowable tensil and compressive loads on these the same as(or close to) that of 4130? Does anybody have this data? Looks like thejury struts would take care of any stiffness problems.3) What about the attach points? On my Grega plans it shows some of theattach points on the ends of the struts that are steel bushings with a strapbent over the bushing and welded to the strut. No way to weld aluminimum tosteel bushings, so I assume that some sort of bushing assembly would just bebolted to the aluminum strut on the ends???4) Can these be painted or powder coated the same as steel. I guess so?? Is corrosion any more or less a concern than rust would be on steelstruts?5) I am concerned about bolt hole elongation, cracking or weakening ifyou have to bolt as in 3 above..Does anybody else wonder about these things?Thanks, Bert----- Original Message -----
