Congratulations!! Go to top of the class Mr ChipsIndeed it was the DH60 Moth which lead a long line of variants and of course differential ailerons were subsequently used in 99.99% of all aircraft.I wonder whether DeHavilland had a patent on them?. Would have made a fortune from licensing!! :-lol.Roger

"Frise" aileron. Very common on modern day GA aircraft used in conjunction with differential ailerons.Frise was the aeronautical design engineer for Bristol Aviation. Chalk up another point for the poms! :-lolRoger

OK.... We all know that landing lights don't last very long... Next challenge.....When I have one burnt out landing light, I change all three at once because it makes economical sense. Name the airplane...http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/173201.jpgLee
