John- I was watching the national weather, and you were very fortunate to have missed out on the weather fronts. They looked pretty erratic to me.

    To get the "chow" out of the typing- eat first, then write. Then you won't think about it.

    Also- Hose.A's Firefly has a single wing strut. I thought Fly's had 2 struts. Could it be a newer type Firestar cage, but not so new to have the vertical aileron push tubes? Wing tips look custom, too.

Bill, the Firefly's have two wing struts.  My understanding is that this is 

not for any structural purpose, but to increase drag to slow down the 

maximum speed according to the calculations in AC103-7.  Many owners 

retrofit a single strut with a bar at the top to span both attach fittings 

on the wing.
