Any reason that won't be right?

Theoretically that would be right --BUT-- The easiest way to do this would be to make the conduit a "L" or "J" shape, drill a hole at your point "C" and put a bolt through there to mount, then drill a hole to put a bolt/pin through the spar mount hole at "B". You can then adjust the preload of the brace by bending it straighter or more angled. You want to have some preload lifting up on the wing.

Here's what I mean:

The home made ones work fine but if I did it again I would just break down and buy the factory ones. I trailer my kitfox back and forth to the airport each flight.

I would also take a 2 X 4, a hand saw and some ratchet straps to beef up that left gear leg attachment. Speaking from experience retrieving a crippled Kitfox.;)

How I moved mine (note spring loaded stool for shock and support).

A lot of good info guys, thanks.

I will build my supports on site as did the fellow from the matronics list.
Thanks for the link there.

I'm hitting the road around 3:30 in the morn, friday.

Thanks for all the replies....
