No, Bob. If it is a FADEC, you are not in control of the limits. :-)

Group,
My club is looking to convert a Twin Astir brake system to a Hydraulic Disk from a Mechanical Drum. Our serial number does not fall within the serial number range of the Kit that is offered by Lindner. We have the Lindner kit and will be going with a 337. My question is does anyone know of a 337 on an Astir brake mod? Also, I have been trying to find info on any different versions of the Astir and can't find much. Is there any reference online that points to different models or versions? Ive read that water ballast was an option and some models came with a disk brake from the factory (These have a different wheel carrier structure). Does anyone know if gross weights remained the same on the Astir through the production run? This info may hel when submitting paperwork to the FAA.
Thanks!

My club (Franconia Soaring) is looking for a replacement rear canopy for our G103 Twin Astir (serial number 3069). Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?
Thanks !

Lindner has canopy blanks in stock, and can ship quickly. Our club
(Nutmeg Soaring in Freehold,NY) might be looking to replace both a
front and rear canopy on a Twin Astir over the coming winter.
Shipping the canopies nested/spooned together greatly reduces the
shipping price per canopy. You can email me directly if you want to
explore the options. mropitz1 at aol dot com

Thanks Mike... I just wrote to you at aol

Robert Mudd in Moriarty was very helpful when we needed a canopy last year. There are a few different sub-versions, so it's important to make sure you know exactly which frame you have.
