Guys, I saw a Glasair III at Oshkosh in 2004 that had gap seals about 3/4-1" wide that were made of thin white plastic. One half of the seal had tape underneath and was stuck to the main part of the w

Earnest, Paul Fisher and I have been talking about this issue as well. I am researching it now. We both remember the same info you just mentioned but as Paul points out, it could have been an urban le

Which one do you have? My 295 was hard to read in direct sunlight but the 296 works better when the sun is shining directly on it. It is very clear and easy to read. Jim Patillo canopy under black and

Michael, I must be looking at a different kind of 296 or either I'm looking through all that glare and not noticing it. Viewing a 296 Color Garmin in my Q is the least of my worries. My unit is mounte
