Twin Otter Inprovements

Would love to see the exhaust system on the DHC-6 400 improved or modified not to blow directly over the leading edge of the wing. Creates lots of mess and heat and in time corrosion. Maybe a Dash 7 design would be better. Also landing lights should be positioned on outside of the wing fence to get away from the exhaust gasses. Pilot's seat needs better leg support, just not long enough. On long trips, ferries etc very uncomfortable. And hopfully those dreadful fuel pumps will be more reliable... Just a thought.
