Having also been flogging my new Europa to death over the last few (Hot for
U.K.) days. I can vouch for the need for improved cooling - not
particularly in the cockpit but for the inside of the panel!!
Having just landed I decided to unscrew my GNC 250 to take it home to learn
how to use all the features better and was staggered at how incrediby hot
the unit was. I appreciate that modern electronics work above 100C but high
temperatures increase the rate of ageing of components such as capacitors
etc.
Has anyone found a neat way to increase the ventillation behind the panel?
