I am wanting to build a Breezy and choked on the price of the streamlined strut material. My question to all of you is, can you substitute the streamlined strut material with round tubing that meets the equivalent tension and compression numbers. It would be about a twenty pound weight penalty on the aircraft but the cost on Aircraft Spruce prices is over $1200. I'll diet and loose twenty pounds to save twelve hundred bucks. Any input from all of you is appreciated. Thanks, Kurt
