Wingstay Pictures
Can anyone let me know if they've any photo's of their wingstays in their archive so that I can have a look. I've been searching but
got nowhere.
I made mine from reinforcing rod so that they wouldn't break but they bounce wildly instead so I'm going to knock some new ones up.

Cheers Wasa. I've done another search using wing stay as oppose to wingstay and I've got a few more.

About 500 miles seems to be about average

I can see them shake if I hit a bump as I'm driving, but not excessively so.
I can't remember us having any wing stay failures amongst our local group, some of whom have done 10-15k miles.
