I do not know exactly who told me this, but I believe it was Jamie S. when he was still at Just.
ON the forward horizontal attache bolt, that everyone will have soon, install a tab just like the flying wire tabs. There is a corresponding tab on the rear lift strut bracket for the other end of the transport strut. I bought a piece of 1/2" tubing, 3 feet long out of the hobby metal rack at Ace Hardware. I bought 4 - 5/16" fine thread bolts (length was about 2 1/2") I welded the head of the bolts onto the tubing so that I had a finished length (from the end of the threads on one end to the end of the threads on the other) of 19 3/8". The clevis ends that came on the brake cylinders thread right onto the fine thread bolts and there you have the transport strut. photo attached.

Folded Wing Support Struts
Dave,
SWEET!
I was wondering how to make those struts and what to do with those left over brake pieces, now I'm ready.
Mind if I plagerize?
Nice job!

more stability
This information was very useful. Would it provide more stability the wings if there was an arm between the two support struts that would anchor them against flexing?
