Has anyone replaced the wing 'N' struts with a one piece strut that bolts to the mounting tabs? If you have, do you have the pattern that you used and can I get a copy of it?
Thank You

Yes I have done this. Check the side view of the Fuse, trace the lower part of the rib of the top wing and the upper top of the bottom wing draw the shape to your liking it is that simple. I hope this helps.

Try to get the airfoil shapes as suggested by korky. Then make a small pattern of each. With stock N strut in place, attach each pattern to the top & bottom wing. Now take a 3rd peice of pattern material, and connect the the other 2. Make good solid joints so the airfoil patterns cannot slip. You can now remove the "1 piece" pattern from the aircraft and use it make your struts.

Terry,
You got me all confused with all this "one piece two piece" stuff.
Now I've gone an glued the whole mess together, an it flies like a damn chicken.
Ruined a perfectly good plane.
