Cool

Monsieur le CTD, hey I was wondering about your comment about the airflow being different around the 205 and 212 tails. Aside from the engine cowlings being different (I suppose that might change the flow), I can't see any difference betweeen the 2. Our 205's have 212 blades, and t/r's, only difference is that our 205's have the strake kits installed (I know that will make a huge difference). I guess my question really is: without the strakes, how is the airflow different ??

BTW, I noticed a difference when we added the strakes, very nice !!!

Cheers
