Just got an F-27 and still in the process of figuring out what's what. The
previous owner replaced the mast fairly recently. There is now a sparcraft
Performance mast. I am trying to figure out if there are upper cap shrouds
installed, since I also hope to add the diamond rig this spring. Can someone
tell me where I would find the fitting for the upper cap shrouds?
Thanks,
Claus
