Re: A list of lift strut suppliers

I just emailed Airframes Inc. if they offer sealed struts at $1700-1800 I think it's a no-brainer for those who want sealed struts.

nice find! thanks!

I spoke with Wag Areo this morning and they beleive they will be in the game for t-craft struts.
No price as of today and no date.

Hi Robbie,

If you find out they become available let me know and I will add my list.

Re: A list of lift strut suppliers

Can we assume that all suppliers supply FAA PMA certified struts, with appropriate paperwork/yellow tags/whatever?

Yes, I added a note to my post so it was obvious. Thanks, Dave

Thanks David.

I'm sure this is what lots of us are looking for.
It's also interesting info, a big discrepancy in price!

So far looks like there are 3 sources for struts

Please add others that I missed.

Prices below are for four struts only, 2 front and 2 rear I round prices up to the next $50 increment. I kept it to 4 struts only so its a fair compare. Don't compare a price with jury struts included to a price witout them. Just keep it to comparison of the four needed struts.


********** I only list FAA/PMA sources below **************

1) Univair about $2750 => http://www.univairparts.com/

2) Tayorcraft about $3250 => http://www.taylorcraft.com/zencart/

3) Airfames Inc about $1800* => http://www.supercubs.com/fab_manufacturing.html
* base strut includes jury strut clamps too


Appears that Airframes Inc is a reality now and you can order struts from them.
