 |

John:
As I remember, the struts themselves (not the covers) are marked on the ends
with a small letter in ink. As I remember, one letter is "L" and the other
is "P". Look carefully to see if you find these two letters. I believe "L"
is for left, and "P" is for right. Don't ask me why "P" means right. It is a
Czech thing! If you don't find these letters, let me know and I will try to
help you further. Once you identify which strut is the left one, and which
one is the right strut I can tell you how to identify which side faces up,
and which side faces down. Let me know if you find the letters.

John:
Glad you found the letters. You are incorrect concerning the slotted
(Forked) end. The forked end (wing end) of the strut tubes is slightly
rounded on the "top" side. This is the side that is closest to the wing
itself. The "bottom" side is the side you refer to as "longer". Be careful
before you drill any holes and rivet the strut covers on the tubes to orient
the crimped edge of the cover such that when each strut is placed on the
plane the crimped edge is on the underside of the covers. And make sure the
cover is pointed in the correct direction for each strut tube. Just take
your time, lay out the strut tubes and the covers as they will go on the
plane before you start drilling and you should be fine.
