Lots of pictures of the Rapide (exterior and interior) can be found on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kiwiaircraftimages.com/aviation.html">this site</a>.  Click on the "Aircraft" button on the left hand side then find the Dragon in the list - lots of other aircraft to look at too!

Quite a lot of Rapides on display at Modelkraft - here are the ones that I saw.

All pics are clickable thumbnails leading to hi-res images.

I'd forgotten I had these, but here are some pics of a Rapide at Yeovilton Air Day last year.

All pics are clickable thumbnails leading to hi-res images.

<a target="_blank" href="http://precisedatasolutions.co.uk/photos/yeovilton air day/dragonRapide_1.jpg"><img src="http://precisedatasolutions.co.uk/photos/yeovilton air day/thumbnails/dragonrapide_1.jpg"></a>
<a target="_blank" href="http://precisedatasolutions.co.uk/photos/yeovilton air day/dragonRapide_2.jpg"><img src="http://precisedatasolutions.co.uk/photos/yeovilton air day/thumbnails/dragonrapide_2.jpg"></a>
<a target="_blank" href="http://precisedatasolutions.co.uk/photos/yeovilton air day/dragonRapide_4.jpg"><img src="http://precisedatasolutions.co.uk/photos/yeovilton air day/thumbnails/dragonrapide_4.jpg"></a>

Showing my ignorance (which is unforgivable for a student of aeronautics), but what is the little propeller thing on the port wing for?

I'd guess it was a wind-powered dynamo. :idea:

You can order them from Aeroclub.....But I forgot!   :oops:  

If you were to pick a set up, I'd be glad to trade one for, say.....Some Tigermoth wheels!   :wink:

All the best

Looks like that 'Kiwi Aircraft' site is up the spout!   :(

I can't even get to the Aircraft Index.....Can anyone else get any further?   :?:

TIA & All the best

Quick question before I seal the canopy up.....What is the box on the port side of the cockpit bulkhead behind the pilots left shoulder.....Is it a radio, if so should I have painted it black?  :?:

TIA & All the best

I believe its meant to be a halon fire extinguisher, and as such needs to be painted green.
