This guy, Ascher Shapiro, he made 39 of these films in the 1960's, most are still worth watching today. He was a Nerd, before being a Nerd was cool !!! Roger

That's crazy......that is why is very good to put the aerodynamic airfoil on round strut....:eek:

Makes me wonder, who has cleaned up their jury struts and has anyone thought of cleaning up the gear at all?

[HansLab]

you are right: nice winterjob to aerofoil the Jurystruts!!
In my local bookshop there are profiles (to attach large poster to) that I'll try...
Tx for the film - I saw it before, but couldn't find it. Now I bookmarked it..

Been thinking about the gear, may run some numbers on drag to see if it is worth it.
