It's called Wind Deflector in the RHC parts catalog, but isn't this for flying with doors off? Saw it on some orange Clippers with floats at the factory (Malaysia registered if I recall that correctly) and that was explained to me. These spoilers shouldn't be hard to fit afterwards.


By the way, I've seen an R44 Raven II that had kind of a handle bar left and right at the tailcone just where the strobe light sits. I couldn't find this in the parts catalog. It looks a bit like this stuff, but much shorter:

Any idea what this is for?
