Product Description
| The Arapaho Dorsal Fin kit was derived from the last Comanche ever built, the Arapaho PA-40. It was installed by Piper for two reasons; to add more directional stability in cruise, and to lower Vmc. For cabin air, a newly designed more efficient NACA duct pusheS air into a plenum built right into the fin. The plenum then uses the aircraft's existing vent system to distribute the air through the cabin. This new system provides up to 20% more air than the original. The dorsal fin is made from advanced vinylester resin for a superb weight to strength ratio. | |
