Talk:FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II

Change in Wing Data
The previous version (27 Dec 2007) states that the wings had a negative angle of incidence. I believe this to be an error; the picture seems to depict negative dihedral, so I am guessing that should be the correct term. A negative angle of incidence would mean the fuselage would have to fly much more nose-up. . I am going to change this term. If somebody (who is familiar with the actual airplane in Argentina) knows that I have changed this in error, please feel free to change it back to the previous wording.

 * You're right - although it's anhedral when the wings slope downwards towards the tips. I've added the correct term. Ian Dunster (talk) 20:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Indigenous design
The comment "Design Team and work imported from Nazi Germany. Not an indigenous aircraft." shown in one of the article edits, IMHO is not totally correct. I guess that the reason is that the term "Indigenous design" is quite vague. Albeit is is true that the main designer was Kurt Tank and a team of german engineers, it is also true that the Pulqui II is a different aircraft to those desigend by Tank in "Nazi Germany". It was developed in Argentina, with support of the argentinian Air Force, and participation of argentinian engineers and workers. It was a new design, not a variant of a previous one; nor was built under license (as was for example the "Curtiss Hawk 75O"). So for me, sounds pretty "indigenous".

Testing and evaluation - end of para 4
"Welding had been a dichotomy in the manufacturing process necessitated by the paucity of modern forging and pressing equipment in Argentina".

Could the author of this sentence explain it a little more clearly please? I'm a fairly average reader, but I don't understand the use of "dichotomy" in this context.
