Bug wipers are not very common in the US. Thanks John Cochrane Of course somebody might just ask this question and then sit back and laugh as all his competitors scramble to investigate bug wipers and try to get them fitted before the start of next season. I wonder how many have been ordered already. Darryl I strongly support the US informal gentleman's agreement not to use bug wipers. I'm investigating this in preparation for the worlds. I was trying to stay quiet about that before our European colleagues clammed up about their bugwiper secrets, but it looks like the cat's out of the bag. John |

For the worlds you canīt go with the usual bugwipers, you need custom made ones (http://www.drgaida.de/Putzi.htm , itīs in german but youīll get the gist of it) to really impress competitors ;-) Michael |

I won't get into the ASL/AGL debate to figure out what altitude you suggested. However, I envisage hiker's crampons on the shoes and pitons pushed into the wings so they could crawl out and wash the bugs off without falling. Granted, this might make a re-finish necessary, but it's up to the owner to decide what modifications to make, and whether the mods would be legal for the CofA. Sounds good. Oh... what does "SCNR" mean? "Sorry, Could Not Resist"... |
