I asked the pilot about them and he told me they were for draining any liquid accumulation. This is a jet that was new in 2000 and flies mach .81 at FL450- far faster and higher than any of our Lancairs will ever go- in all kinds of weather. I wonder why we do not do the same thing. I did not look at the tail feathers but will do so the next time I see it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
