over a year ago Horatio, our local fiberglass guy and TPI factory employee back in the 80s, recommended that he fiberglass the strut on 526 completely in ... for nearly 30 years this had been a problem for me and required fairing each year. he claimed it was the only final solution ...
this is photo of it one year later ... not showing any signs of problems. Somewhere I think there is a photo of it unpainted on this site from last year.
