Drawing:

As Cross Brace:

The cross brace is located approximately a quarter of the way down the boom and it provides lateral bracing.

 

As Propeller Shroud:

It encompasses an arc of approximately 86º.
  1. It should act as a shroud and hopefully increase the thrust in the upper portion of the propeller's disk, slightly.
  2. It could have vanes attached to it and this might reduce some of the cross-coupling caused by the propeller.
