    Speak of the devil and he shall appear. I just received my jury strut fairing Lowell did an amazing job. They are incredibly nice and are extremely light weight. I think this is a no brainer mod.

    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.

    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.

    Hey Jim, I went and measured and forgot to post a few days ago. I believe 1.75” was what I measured. I’m not at home now
