Another solution to strut fairings--If you have a metal brake use the .018

leading edge aluminum from acs which comes in 12 foot rolls.  Rip each strip

into 6" strips, about 4 feet long, one for each side of the jury strut.

Bend them into a 40 degree included angle (^) shape and cement them (scuff

aluminum with 80 grit first) to struts at tangent point with epoxy.  They

can be covered with cloth or painted.  This weighs 4 lbs total for all 4

struts.  How much does the Kitfox fairings and the Lowes foam weigh for the

entire 36 feet?  Using the wood or foam I would worry about trapped moisture

next to the strut.  Comments?  PS Aluminum tape wrapped over the front will

secure them if you don't trust the cement.
