John,

So what was done for the Strutter, "off the shelf?"

I can see you as a museum wanting to stick to all details however minute but, I am wondering if this may be one of those items just not quite worth the trouble for me, so therefore maybe just go "off the shelf."

For the moment, I need to pin down the aft radius so I can draw out the airfoil section tangent from each end. But which radii to choose for the trailing edge is bothering me a bit,... the original AP 121 section, or something off the shelf like that from Wicks or Spruce Aircraft Supply???

Thanks for your input John!
