Beaver pitot
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:31 am
Hey Nige,
That thing that looks like a 20 mm cannon is a Kolsman pitot, also used on
the 195 and Harvard. I have been assured by many in the know the "fin" is
just to hold the pitot cover on!!!
Interestingly I have worked on a Moose that has one...had to use big
doublers on the main and rear spar to take the "barrel"!
When is Cranfield this year?
Brian
