Only
disapointment was that with the sun behind and shinning full strength on the
display it would wash out with the light tint filter I had installed.
Bubble canopies have their drawbacks. I held up a darker tint filter in
front and it helped a lot. The suction cup sun screen (like window
screen) that I use in the cockpit also made it
easily readable.
It's just tough to make
a display that works well in the sun. Most LCD displays
suffer when viewed with polarized sunglasses, and the one on
my RMI had a heat related problem. If you were foolish enough to park
the plane so the sun shined on the display, it would be dark, and
unreadable for several minutes after you cranked the engine. Once the
engine was running, and you got moving, it would slowly return to view, but
only about the time you got ready to do a run-up. In the mean
time, you just had to hope that it would alarm if anything was out of limits,
and trust that everything was
OK.

Copperstate on Wednesday.
Great, you can just drop my
EM-2 off on the way :-) Seriously, I'm getting along OK without it, so
take your time. It'll just be that much nicer when it
arrives.
Have a safe
trip.
