Russ,
That's rotten!! Had you been successful I would have absolutely followed your tracer in a bid to get rid of even standby steam from my cockpit!

Is there anything you can do to make them fit? Maybe only one?

Not that the installer could figure out. It's a depth issue with the canopy defroster plenum. Cutting into that would be problematic.

But since it fit in Rick's DA40 it might fit in your DA42.

I’m pretty sure it fits in DA42 but it’s not on STC list and I don’t understand why.
