I talked with several of the gentleman in the Goshawk hangar concerning the 190D a few months back. They did indeed confirm that the wing they received was not in nearly the same condition as the one they traded. I also seem to remember one of the guys saying that one of the big differences between the D-13 and the D-9 wing was that the D-13 had boosted ailerons. However, he said the wing from the Air Force Museum airplane shows no traces of this. An interesting tidbit although I'm no expert and cannot confirm the validity. Regards, Chad.
