Imported wing struts didn't fit, so it was decided that some should be scratch made. The issue being the original strut material is no longer available, so a lighter but stronger material had to be used - which of course needed to be approved. This process began, but I'm not sure if it ever progressed past that.
It's been outside for at least a couple of years now too which is a little worrying and makes me think we won't see this in the air again
