Very true. Lot of noise even with a helmet. Gets a little wet too flying in
heavy rain.=C2-

the front canopy before you depressurize it. Taking this valve out of the
system, I had a charge last over 8 days. This was with the plane static and
no use but still pretty significant. If I could find a new valve, I would
be golden.

of 2.5 ATM loss per hour, but at least the Nitrogen will now outlast the f

In reality, not taking into consideration usage, how long does a full charg

Thanks for the help.

| Subject: | Canopy seal... how do you protect yours? |
Guys,
So by now, we all know that canopy seals are almost impossible to find, so we need
to take good care of the ones we have.
Mine aren't new, but they still work and I would like to keep it that way. I know
most of the tricks, keep the canopy cover on and out of the sun... but do you
guys use a specific product to protect your seal? A beefed up Armor All kinda
product?
Thanks.

Armour All is all I use to try to keep soft and pliable. Apply several time
s a year. =C2-I was able to find a new front canopy seal but not the rear
. Both of mine are good for now. If there is something better I would like
to know too.
