I believe we are installing one now. ‘We have backups for customers in case of AOG. They are slow to come in but so are King Airs and Boeings, it’s crazy in the windshield business.

I’m not sure it’s a gray area, we’ve been doing it for 30 years. Is it wise? Depends. Recently tried one from a wrecked plane and it broke on first pressure cycle in the hangar. Expensive lesson. And there’s a couple guys selling windshields that have known history and/or fraudulent history. Otherwise we have had good luck but it’s not something that I would recommend for someone in the field who does not have experience fitting these windshields that’s for sure.

In the 690A, getting about 50 mbs with the unit on top of the copilot glareshield powered by this battery. It’s way better than expected given most heated glass windshield operators can’t get it to work.

Are you using one of the aviation packages? I vaguely thought there was some sort of speed restriction for the normal one.

« Last post by Thomas Rainey on November 02, 2025, 02:18:25 pm »Yes, I put a mini on the glare shield facing out the windshield and was able to get it to work. It was pretty finicky about the position. Wouldn’t work in a certain spot on the glare shield, then moved it a couple of inches and then magic! My wife was able to instagram at 30k so she was happy! 
I tried to get it to work out of side windows but could never get it to connect.
