Hi guys
I,m with Rick on the Strakes. Flown them lots on 204's and the difference is very positive. The aircraft is a lot more stable "out of wind" and the increase in performance is very noticable when moving from a strake machine to a non strake machine (we estimate 8-12% performance improvement).
I suspect that the unloading of the vertical stab will be a benefit structurally down the road but only time will prove me right or wrong on this one.
