carholme Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 The fin on top is part of the early Bell IFR system as opposed to later models which have the better Sperry system installed. carholme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 CTD...what is the fin on top of the 212...obviously an antenna of kind but what? Mark It's the Dihedral Sail, originally installed on all IFR Bell 212s with the Bell AFCS to improve stability in the roll axis. Sometime in the 90s (I believe) it was allowed to be removed. And carholme - not all late-model IFR 212s had the Sperry. It was optional. The Bell AFCS was produced right to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
