Hello Bob, where did you buy the plastic struts cover from?

Larry,
I can't remember where I read it but I believe the jury struts keep it from humming as you said and also in a negative G condition they keep the struts from bending. I have seen many ultralights that have removed their tube struts and jury struts and replaced with only aluminum streamline struts. I put on the plastic streamline struts over the tube struts and saw an 8mph increase along with having to repitch the prop to keep from over revving. Could not believe how much drag is caused by those tube struts.
