I went with aluminum not for weight savings but for cost savings. 4130streamline was going to cost me a fortune and I got all the aluminum strutmaterial for about $175 from Carlson Aircraft.In reality I think the aluminum struts come out about 20% heavier than steelonce the end fittings are installed and they are ready to fly.One day, after I get my TIG welder and learn to use it I'm gonna make 4130struts..... one dayDJ----- Original Message -----
