Great find Brandon

Which does bring an opportunity for a question I had.

What are the purposes of the fins on the prop hub on Argus powered German birds of that area ?

It seems they have a slight angle Does it powers the pich meachanism ?

[bdk]

The differential in speed between the dome and the prop hub turns a pump I believe. As I recall the system works to maintain a fixed blade angle of attack rather than a fixed RPM.

The Zlins with the inline engines have the same configuration.

Maybe that's what Goering did for fun that is when he wasn't crossdressing.

No they aren't. They are Do-217's. Look at the one in the same picture in the side view, it has a tail wheel.

Does Paul Allen have the FW-189 from Russia that was being restored to airworthy in the UK? I heard he did , but I am unsure.
