SNAP VENTS.

[Old, Fat and Hairy]

It's a tinted canopy and I'm looking at operating around 10k' on longer trips, around 7k for shorter sub 1 hour hops.

Reckon I'll give the 2" vents a go to start with. If they're not coping I'll go for the larger ones. Should be running at 150mph TAS at altitude so no prob forcing air in.

Cool

completely off subject but related to low wing aircraft, a friend of mine spent most of his life flying at higher altitudes and now that he is in his advanced years he is suffering terribly with skin cancer on his arms. The higher you go, the less UV protection you get from the atmosphere, even though the heat of the sun might not be too bad. It is all too easy to wear a t-shirt, but use a sun block or light cotton long sleeve rather.

No worries. 10k is not too high in any case. The tinted canopy should help a bit too. I'll probably carry a car sunshade I can spread under the top of the canopy to shade things if needed, as well as use it to shade the interior when parked.

The big high alt birds carry radiation monitoring kit to alert the crew if things go bad.

Now they do, his problem is he flew in the 70's and 80's and they didn't understand it then. 24000 hours on 747's
