    Suggestions Please

    Ok guys here is my issue. I would like to make this strut ajustable. It is static and mounted through the hull. There are a few ideas I am considering. Replacing it is fine but with what?? Hacking this hull up is out of the question. I am not oposed to some drilling and cutting but nothing magor. Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks.

          You are the one usually answering these. jeez thats tough. If you are staying with this one, dremel cut about 3/4 the way down as straight as poss. drill one hole on each side of the large hole on each piece. then make straps with elongated holes in them and attach the straps to drilled and tapped holes. this should give you adjustment both vertical and angular. hard to explain what i mean but that is all I see possible

                  I figure if I can do it clean and it's not to hard..It's nice to have one more ajustment. If I can't get my head around it I'll just leave it be.
                  I has considerd something to that affect Mike..I think it will add alot of drag..we are on the same page though. Thanks :)

                          SJ, I have found machine shops to be very helpfull for that kind of stuff, the key is to everything marked and ready. I took in my OE turn fins to have the blade sharpened from each side rather than the one cut, they had so much fun figuring out the angles to do it, they didnt charge me anything!!

                              Doug Ive run it twice. Still searchig for the balnce. It seems to want to hop around in the turns under power. Dooz I will look into shops around here..Thanks. I am going to leave it be untill I have exhausted every CG ajustment. Then if it dont settle in the turns ill try a mod. I have been downloading every cat video I can find. About 75% of them seem to carve these perfect turns under power. Very flat and stable, not unlike an F1 tunnel. That is what im looking to tune in to my setup.
