I’ll take some this morning. I’m having a hard time posting pictures that are big enough to see detail ever since photo bucket went down. I’ll see what I can do.

Hopefully you can see enough detail. I just weighed them. 1.1oz each or 33g

Thanks Josh! Now I want some. Why do you have so many?

Ah sorry, It must be confusing because this is in the stabilizer strut fair thread but these are for the jury struts. The front, back, and diagonal. X2 for a total of 6.
Quite a bit will be trimmed off so they will be lighter yet, but then add paint and hysol. I bet total installed weight will be less than 8oz total

My horizontal struts with glass fairings installed, primed, sanded and ready for paint.

Horizontal stabilizer struts and jury struts faired. Jury struts not yet final sanding completed. All fairings were two layers of very lite hand layed up glass. Came out great. The yellow sprayed on primer is for filling pin holes.

Fairings made the old fashion way, light abachi wood was shaped and covered with glass.
I sure wish I understood how it is you can lay up fiberglass and have the surface come out smooth instead of the way it is on the inside of the engine cowl for example. I thought my sweet job on the balsa wood flapperon tips were smooth and sealed good. Still can see some wood grain. I was proud of how they turned out until paint was applied. Still fine, but not great. Next time Ill buy them from KF. It was still fun making them.

Very nice job Thomas. Looks like a lot of handiwork .... and hard work. I'm guessing you do woodwork in your spare time ?.
