Default RE: Park Bench Ailerons

You got to remember back in the thirties there was a lot unknowns about aerodynamics and a lot of experimenting going. The first few versions of the Gamma had the park bench ailerons. The ailerons were mounted above the wing instead of in the wing. The later versions of the Gamma had conventioal ailerons.
The JU87 Stuka had simular ailerons except they were mounted below the wing.
