Aft struts

Here's the pictures...

Forward struts with their attachment brackets. I cleaned everything up and put the second bolt through the strut today, which I didn't have ready to go last night.  Even still, it felt so much more solid than using string to tie everything together.

Note that normal AN42B bolts do not fit a 3/4" diameter bracket like are drawn in G3W13.  Instead, you have to file down to a smaller radius to get it to fit.

It might be a little boring unless you really like aircraft construction, but here's an evening's timelapse on what it took to cut the tubes to length and drill two holes (since I drilled the other pair tonight):
