Forward Canopy geometry
Great Idea, thats even better than PRA, and with talk down thrown in at a fraction of the price. Its a wonder there isnt a Q200 in Florida with a similar set up. :-) Lots of energy expended in your vi

Jay, That is a great picture. I notice you have closing plates at the end of your elevators, is your fuel tank behind that area or is there a void behind ? Br Rich T.

Throttle RPM Oddity
Hi Geoff, Could you rephrase your post to make it clear what a clever avionics tech is and so not offensive to other avionics systems people ? So did you ask an "avionics tech" to remove the wire ? If

Your Opinion
Got one fitted on the TriQ, but only set up currently to warn when it gets to 5 Degrees C. Might have a look to add a scale on the EFIS for a constant readout. Br Rich T.

It wasn't on my 0200, it was a club Cherokee with a Lycoming, but it taught me a lesson that sticks in the mind for the future reference. :-Br Br RichT

Thanks Bill, that is some interesting information to consider. The reason I select carb heat cold on late final is not damage to the engine but Rich Cut, and even then that is not a problem if you are
