Hi, JavierI don't know about the rest of the folks, but the wing struts out of4130 are likely not going to happen for me due to cost. Currently, Iam looking at using round tubing (4130) and fairing them. I lookedinto the old Piper struts in the area, and they don't exist anymore.The few that I found at an airplane salvage were bent, totally rustedor generally unserviceable. A couple were so heavy that I could hardlylift them. I, too would be interested in hearing about alternates(affordable ones that is).Best regards,-=Ian=-________________________________________________________________________________

Is anyone working on a folding wing design for a Piet? Or does anyone knowof an existing design? I'm getting close to putting the wings together andI keep thinking it would be a nice feature for transporting and sharinghangars, etc.DickG.Ft.
