I see it has anti-spin strakes leading to the horizontal stabilizers. I remeber seeing them on a deHavilland Moth model as well. Curious items - if they really are effective at preventing spins, wouldn't they be seen more often in many aircraft designs? And if they are not, why were they repeated on the Miles Magister? Just ruminating out loud.

Hi all,
Thanks for checking in again. In regards to the Anti-spin strakes, That bastion of information Wikipedia says the following: Early Magisters (including the first prototype) suffered a number of accidents when the aircraft could not be recovered from a spin. To solve this problem, the tailplane was raised by 6 inches (15 cm), anti-spin strakes fitted to the rear fuselage, and eventually, a new taller rudder. Thus modified, the aircraft became the definitive M.14A.[5]On this build, I made quite a bit of progress since my last entry. This build is going by rather quickly, so far. Anyway, way the cockpit was closed up and the wings were built and installed. Other than a few minor adjustments here and there, fit is still good. The wing fillets turned out better than I had expected, with only the front portion providing any sort of challenge since location was a bit vague. On the research front, it appears as though this particular model represents a Magister in the Shuttleworth collection. I have included a photo of the "prototype" I found on the web as proof... greg
