Hi Netters,
Dive brakes have come up on the net again,mentioning dive bombers.The WW 11
Douglas Dauntless dive bomber had dive brakes that could be described as a
whole lot of holes held together with very little material.This may suggest
that the holes cause turblence and drag.The question arises,more holes, less
force to deploy ? or does the increased drag require more force to deploy the
brakes.?This is of importance to KR owners who use a hand lever to deploy their
belly board brakes.
