et>Mike, a serious question and an observation.- Why was the 2" higher seat dumb-- was it more wind on the pilot on cool days?- I would think the seat would be more comfortable, esp. lessening pulling on the back of the legs, but maybe more height makes the instruments harder to read, unless the panel is slanted.- Pls reply.- I live about 100 miles north of Oscar, and wore long pants outside 6 days last winter.- Winter is a non-event.- OTOH, we just had the hottest summer in Texas history-- period.- The 100F plus days may be over, but the 10-day forecast here is for highs of 92-99.- Yes, autumn is coming.- Oscar might start wearing a jacket in his Piet in December.- Tim in central TX-----Original Message----->From: "Cuy, Michael D.
