Strut speed fairings.

Just to set the record straight, the strut in my previous post is not mine. It is a photo of a Kitfox SLSA parked in their booth at Airventure.

Below is a top and bottom view of my struts.

This is from the top:

I filled in the trailing edge gap again with a fitted piece of wood, hysol'ed into place then covered the whole thing with fabric. I went with the fabric because I have never had any luck getting paint to stick to plastic like this. So now they are fabric covered and match the rest of the plane.
