I should have clarrified - the "small" struts are about 2.5" x 1" and the "large" struts are about 3 1/8" x 1 1/4". Are you sure Larry used the small ones?? I guess the strength is there..Tom B.Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: carlson aircraft aluminum struts

Hi Tom=2CI copied Larry Williams (Top or Head Curmudgeon) and used the small Carlson wing struts. Go to westcoastpiet.com=2C where there are three photos to look at. The inserts were made from 7075 aluminum alloy pieces I got from Mcmaster-Carr. Dan HelsperPuryear=2C TN-----Original Message-----
