To offset that is the comfort in the summer. An aircraft cockpit is like a solar oven, and in this regard the Grumman is a real sweetie. Open the canopy, and we are coooool. Pipers, which I use for training, are just awful. I can't understand why people who design and build airplanes in a hot place like Wichita, would build one without cross ventilation -- like TWO DOORS. Fair enough, but my Warrior is comfortable on a hot day as soon as I start the big fan on the front then stick my little plastic scoop out the pilot-side window to channel the wind inside. A sliding canopy would be great, of course, but there are easy ways to cope -- if you don't have the air scoops on the training Pipers, you might suggest that the owners install them.
