Now I have a set of wings...built , covered and painted...and am
wondering if anyone has built single lift struts in place of the dual
ones? I have streamlined material to cover them with...
going from memory here, use this information as a starting place for your
research.
as I remember the firefly paperwork that I read mentioned that the 2 struts
was necessary to keep the plane within the speed requirements of part 103.
I don’t know how the struts mount,,, but I would think a T would not be as
robust as something that is triangulated, also I have no information on
the torsion loads on the wing.... if they are using the 2 struts to help
handle the torsion loads of the wing a tee would eliminate that support and
the wing could be unstable. and any twisting on the T would cause metal
fatigue and possible failure. unless you are smarter than the designer...
my opinion would be to stay with a proven design....
