Hi Jimmie,
you may also use the Stits or Maule fabric tester. This way the wing struts
of the Piper PA18 are tested for corrosion.
There is also an official instruction how to do this.
But bad news is that you need to remove the fiberglass fairings.

Thank you. That is great information. I certainly agree that where else
may be rusted does indeed have me concerned. As much as I dread it I am
planning on taking off the fiberglass fairings and having a look at the
whole strut unless someone knows a way to check it without taking off the
fairings.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not recall anyone have this kind
of issue with the struts. Will keep all posted on what I find. I do not
want to even think about a strut failure.
Thank again Lowell.
Jimmie
