It wasn't an oboe more like an 80yr old little old lady who had just
eaten a can of beans!!
(now everyone pucker your lips like your going to kiss and blow
hard.... that was the sound)

So disgusted at the distraction to the flight it was making I ripped
it off and ejected it from the plane.

However........

The Illustrious Mr Morgan did install an new version on the front
cockpit of the DG1000 when we flew it last and I must say there was a
small but noticeable lowering of noise in the cockpit (telling Leo
stop complaining about the O2 level helped a lot too )
So if you have an aversion to wind noise and don't eat beans before
flying then the Quiet vent MkII might just be the thing you need.

There you go John.....

now can you please turn me up a new spar pin, I will drop the old one
off to you on Friday

Regards

Al

Bob,

Actually, they do. There's an unsubstantiated rumor of a fairly complete
machine shop in bumper's hangar. Maybe Al has been ashamed to ask as he's
overwhelmed with guilt over bad-mouthing the wildly popular "Quiet Vent" (he
flew in Leo's glider with a defective, superseded earlier version that
buzzed like an oboe!).
