Bell 230

The Bell 230 has a pretty large gurney flap from top to bottom of the vertical fin, my manual says that its for stability in the yaw axis, it must help since supposedly the 230 is the most stable helicopter so far, it was this that allowed it to be the first Single Pilot IFR Machine (I read this somewhere).
