Mick,
The following drawing is on the old site in the 2 seat Minimoa documentation page. This shows that the retractable Venturi assembly was fitted to the the right hand side, just forward of the cockpit.

Although the standard Minimoa instrument set included a air driven Turn & Slip, I would like question whether the standard production Minimoa was actually (or always) fitted with the retractable venture that we see on the two seat Minimoa.

The reason for my question is that I have seen three photos of NSFK Minimoas with conventional fixed external venturis.

Only about a dozen Minimoas survived the war long enough to be registered with their captors but before 1950 at least two Polish and two Czech captured Minimoas had fixed venturis.
As over one hundred Minimoas were built, these photos only give us a small sample (and usually get photographed from the wrong side !).
It also makes me ask when and if the NSFK started using electric driven turn and slips.
