FOgging up just going through startup flow

Post by lawndartleo »

Maybe I am just breathing to heavily.... but during the course of my startup my canopy fogs. 20 deg C on a mid summers day. What gives?

Canopy open? Vent open?

It's all in the manual located in the C:/documents/A2A/ folders. Without going through the proper checklists etc you will be in for a long hard road with the Spitfire.

Well... unless this is a NEW feature to fog up so fast, I have NEVER seen it get like this that fast just sitting on the ground on a nice day. Not going to claim that I fly the Spit a lot, but enough to know that fogging has never happened like this in the past.

And yes to all the read the manual stuff.... I know how to resolve the fogging.... I just have never seen it behave like this.

It depends not only on temperature but also on humidity, which can vary wildly
