    Cons

    The power cord is not long enough to set the AC in the baggage compartment. I had to remove the middle row seat and place it there so that the power cord would reach.

    General Comments

    The fans could be a little stronger to push more air.

    does a great job of cooling down the cockpit of my R44, which is hot! in the summer use it before and during take off, then again during landing, it definitely dose the trick.

    Cons

    Do to the large window area in the R44 and heat it dose not last anywhere near 3hrs,

    Pros

    Excellent. Keeps cabin cool even on 97 degree days. Plenty of use time especially for ground roll, climb, and approach.

    Cons

    Takes up an entire seat or row of seats or luggage compartment. I have been successful flying 5 in my six place plane using one seat however.

    Pros

    With fans and pump on, it feels as cool as the ac on my car. Tubing is removable and adjustable. Fans are powerful.

    Cons

    Tubing could use a tighter fit as turbulence or a hard landing bumps the setting. A little on the noisy side due to fans being so powerful, but noise is just the airflow not the fans.

    General Comments

    Good product, worth the price. I use tape to hold the tubing in place.
