In any case i am now thinking of installing wing strut fairings to try tio
fix
the "problem" .
I have seen some modular plastic fairing that can easily be installed on a
Rans
S-12 (i think) ... These are made of 2 plastic parts that "snap" together to
form a "water drop" shaped fairing ...
Any one could submit a source for these ?
Kolb has some 1 piece struts that you slide over and rivet to the strut to
keep it from twisting.
Your other option could be a jury strut.. A small brace from your main
spar to the mid point of the strut.

Homer Kolb, when I was building my MKIII at the Kolb Barn (Factory) in
1991, asked me to put jury struts on my wing lift struts. The reason
he asked was the jury strut was included in the Plans for the MKIII.
He felt if I put them on, others might follow suit.
Well..................as far as I know, my MKIII is the only one in
existence that is equipped with streamlined (or otherwise) jury
struts.
In previous posts to the Kolb List I have related how the jury strut
saved my streamlined lift strut when the gear leg/axle socket failed
in Canada. When the wheel departed the aircraft the weight of the
aircraft dropped down on the left wheel, the lift strut taking the
entire load. Jury strut prevented lift strut failure.
