WICKS AIRCRAFT SLASHES PRICES ON STREAMLINE TUBING
Highland, Il - Wicks Aircraft Supply has received an enormous
shipment of AMERICAN MADE streamline tubing, or strut material, and the
high volume allows them to cut prices on popular sizes by 40 to 60 percent.
Thus tubing that was once $29.58 per foot is now $13.50; stock that sold
for $21.47 per foot is now $11.50. The material is being stocked for
homebuilders and restorers.
There is no cutting charge for streamline tubing. Most early orders can
be shipped out the same day they are received. For a complete list of sizes
available visit www.wicksaircraft.com and click on 4130 streamline tubing.

It DOES make it easier to come up with the end result which is streamlined struts for efficiency BUT at approx. a 10# penalty over round struts with either the plastic cuffs or bent up .016 alum.

I intend usingStream line Aluminium struts in my latest build CH701. no weight penalty or the disadvantage of the bent up .016 alum covers
my concern with the covers is you can,t see the corosion in the round tube under neath and it does corrode.
I had to repaint round struts soon after assembly rust coming through paint.
(The were stripped back rust treated and repainted)
and now two years later there is again corosion coming through paint.
