Here's a link to Chad's blog. He talked to Bernd Bernshorner about his motor offset... there's a short <BR>
blurb about it....<BR> <BR><A href="http://www.chadnortheast.ca/">http://www.chadnortheast.ca/</A><BR>

<DD>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...<BR><BR>
