![]() . GFA is madly scrambling to get it all resolved ASAP. I hope the JS3 vs Ventus 3 battle takes place as it will help me to decided which Libelle to buy next. Chris |

More info on air venting inside the cockpit ?
I've seen the central channel and the sealed hole for instruments cooling but I don't see any vent directing air flow to the pilot. How can the pilot avoid boiling in the Australian hot weather ? Only the slide window ? |

How can the pilot avoid boiling in the Australian hot weather ? Only the slide window ? In the long video on the WGC webpage, the right side of the cockpit above the landing gear handle has two small vents with a circular knob in between. Perhaps a small hidden electric fan controlled by the knob takes in air through one of these two vents and sends it out toward the pilot through the other. Just a guess. |

I like that they relocated the wheel brake on the stick, uncoupling it from the airbrake. That and the airbrake locking mechanism should simplify the landing roll.

Wish I had the airbrake locking feature on the Stemme. Currently I have
to have my wife dump the flaps after landing. If I let go of the airbrake lever to retract the flaps (to increase weight on the gear), the brakes are as likely to close as not. In cross winds that can be a problem with a wing wanting to lift. On 1/2/2017 10:56 AM, wrote: I like that they relocated the wheel brake on the stick, uncoupling it from the airbrake.
