How about a new thread somewhere:
Wishlist for the Dash-8-500 (or Dash 8-X):

I'll continue those mentioned above (speedbugs). I want:

- A sidewindow you can open

- Automatic rudder trim (having to make trim-changes every time you cange power is annoying... )

- A "quiet" cockpit on the ground! They did it with the -300, why has the -400 got to make all those dings and triple dings every time a door is opened or any warning or caution lights come on during and after engine-shut down? Shouldn't be to difficult a logic: WOW and engine off: no sound

- a push to center heading bug (and include those self-aligning, self-identifying VOR/ILS option which is used on the CRJ as well!)

- a properly working air conditioning system. How come you can have about 40° difference in the ducts on the -300 and only about 20° on the 400? It can get really freezing up front with a full load in the back

- A bigger airplane HASN'T GOT to feel bigger - make the handflying easy!

Otherwise I love the Dash - Great airplane, reliable. Flies just like a big Cessna
