[NSRCA-discussion] FAT Rudder

[Phil Spelt]

My Portugese is not good at all, but I believe the message says it is 
Austrian Mayr Gehards, and something about an innovative 
(????something)  small deflector on the upper part of the vertical 
stabilizer...Anyone have any idea what they are supposed to do -- 
what's the benefit, other than increased tail-feather drag???  Does 
it direct more airflow over the Rudder at the top?  Seems to me that 
they might add more roll-coupling, what with the increased effect at 
the TOP of the rudder...
