Hi Ed,
I seldom see the nose dome removed - "benefit of working on a remote station ;-)"
The installation is mostly performing well - with sometimes a 180 degrees hickup in bearing, which is hard to reproduce - but if I donŽt see conflicting traffic in the direction pointed out, IŽll have in mind, that someone is sneaking up behind.
Whats really helpful, is that the system is linked to our "helimap", an GPS based MAP-System, so that I can see the little filled (may be conflicting) or black (non conflicting / altitude) squares on the map and can search for the traffic with regards to landmarks / towns / streets. (but the mapdisplay it is only working correct while flying forward - hovering sideways or backwards means, that only the tiny Ryan-screen is correct)
