PZ Sport Cub 'Rigid' Struts?

[Dparture]

Wondering if anyone has considered or perhaps even tried the somewhat more rigid (just beefier plastic, possibly stamped metal?, nothing exotic) Sport Cub struts...

... Seems like they might reduce wing flexing, torsion and dihedral angle variation a bit?

Here's a link to the Sport Cub Manual (strut mounting particulars are on page 7):

And here's a close-up which will give  a feel for the thickness:

Also here's a diagram (middle / red is Sport Cub) along with dimensions:



And a bit more dimensional information:

Having just built my sportcub today, I agree that the struts are "better"..
But the wing on the SuperCub is meant to flex. Its that, in part, that makes it so easy and fun to fly.

A Sport cub, as you know, has a rigid wing and ailerons/flaps. Totally different animal.

However, they do look like they would fit... Wing mountings would be tricky though.

sham -- Roger that... not having the Sport Cub struts in hand I was guessing that they might still be pretty flexible. Also I expect I noticed the difference on the Sport Cub because my r/c sailing background is bugging me about what looks like "loose" rigging with the stock struts.

Curious as to what makes the wing mountings challenging -- the need to affix hard points for attachment?... if you have a chance I'd be interested in a picture of the Sport Cub mounting points. /d

The struts screw into the wing in two places on both sides and one screw in the base of the fuselage.

The struts have elongated holes which, if mounted loosely, would allow a little flex if used on the Supercub.

There's no real need for a picture, but here it is anyway - its just a hard mount that accepts a screw. I guess the SuperCubs hard mount could be altered to suit.

I think it would work if you could figure the mountings, but I don't see what advantage you would get for the effort put in.
