Hey guys.
I am in search of a set of struts that will be suitable for a Voodoo I am building. I did find a great looking, almost scale version that FEJ have for their Trainer jet, as featured in the latest (March) RCJI magazine. I contacted FEJ and their reps looking for a set, and even though this jet is fairly new on the market, they already have jagged in this set and are now going to provide trailing link type struts only. Result, these particular struts are no longer available, so I am told.

If anyone has a set of these from the orginal issue, I would be interested in obtaining them. IF anyone can suggest or recommend a similar set, I would be grateful.
Attached is the pic from FEJ's website. The noseleg is longer than I need, but I can fix that.

Dan,
Can you provide me dimensional details, I am sure we have something comparable. Need length from top of strut to axle center.
Best to contact me directly at [email protected] for fastest response....

Thanks Todd,

Hi Todd,

Here are the dimensions of the struts I require. These are not very tall:

Twin Nose wheel config, @ 2 1/4" , from trunion face to axle center = 4 5/8"

Mains, @3", from trunion face to axle center = 5 1/4"

Dan
