Brits Flying Club in South Africa is now showing off with an RV9A as a wind vane.
A bit of a sad story as this RV have been imported in flying condition from the USA. It was really one of the worst examples I have ever seen and it has also been discovered that the wing spars have been grinded down to fit into the spar box. Needles to say it had to be scrapped and was in storage for many years.
I am so glad that my friends at Brits Flying Club, with Roel Jansen the main man, has completed this project and that this RV can at least feel some wind blowing over it's wing again.
Yes it does swivel with the wind and the prop is windmilling.
