What does it take to change to SC type struts? I have seen it done, but would like some "first hand knowledge, part numbers, and paperwork requirement?
Thanks

What do you gain by making this switch?

Personal opinion:
The PA18 strut is a better engineering design (when used to carry external loads. (if nothing else it is easier to lash the "racks" to!
The parts are easier to make and on an on!

I want a picture with the washer and dryer tied to the struts in flight.

Steve,
It is a Freightliner, we carry Saddle tanks out there for those long trips to the Iraqi catbox/sandbar!

Tim,
Even in the current confusion, my FAA guy said he'd approve 18 jury struts on my 12. The other day a friend of mine was flying full sheets of sheetrock tied to his 18 struts. He had to sandwich it in plywood for rigidity. He started with 4 sheets but said the second trip would have 8 sheets.

Have you heard from him since the 2nd trip??
Hope so!
