Drag Strut Detail
This shows the drag strut of the starboard wing, with covering already
on the bottom surface. White bars adjacent to the 2nd and 3rd ribs
are steel braces to keep the drag strut in column (against compression
force on drag strut). You can also see that the drag strut has rivets
in it; it is actually 2 pieces of round stock riveted together. All
the white dabs are epoxy on the rivets to ward off corrosion. I also
added some elastic epoxy goo (the black stuff) between the drag strut
braces and rib pieces to prevent vibration wear.
