    I suspect our perspectives differ too greatly for an exchange of ideas to have much of a positive result. As you appear to feel strongly about your position, in the spirit of freedom of speech, I respectfully suggest you communicate it to the AOPA.

    Personally, I thought that Mr. Belcher's letter was well-written, helpful, low-key, and exhibited good common sense. John Goodings, C-FGPJ, CH601HD with R912S, Carp/Ottawa/Toronto.

    Hi Guys, I have changed my Zenith canopy for a Todd's version and have noticed the gas struts are a little weak due to the Todd's increased weight. Has anybody else noticed? If so did you change the gas struts? Cheers Peter Wonthaggi Australia http://zodiac.cpc-world.com
