Biplane Guy - very interesting detailing on the "anti-spin strakes" on the top rear fuse - I was wondering what they were called ... - had to look them up - they are not on the plans of my Dumas 17 1/2 " kit. |

Hey LW, those anti-spin strakes were not part of the kit but were present on the aircraft I wanted to model. Skye was once again my source of info on all things aeronautical. He told me they were added because when a hood was placed over the rear cockpit during IFR training it disrupted the airflow to the tail feathers. Those strakes and those leather instrument panel bumpers are great conversation starters. |

BG - those look like pretty realistic heavy duty leather leather instrument panel bumpers - thanks for pointing that out - is there a story to them ? They really add to the look ... |
