Mike S Senior Curmudgeon Jun 12, 2012 #2 Welcome to VAF!!!! Scott, welcome to VAF. Strakes have been discussed numerous times here, you should be able to find information by using the search function. A quick summery for you, they are small curved tabs on the fuse just above the wing leading edge. Here is a photo stolen from one of the prior threads. And here is a tread about them. http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=77228&highlight=strake
