A Survey of Mite Nosewheel Well Windows
2017-08-17:
A question from Jim Frank, N4181, N1030, asking about which Mites have a nose wheel tunnel window prompted me to display below all the photos I have of Mite cockpits to see if there is a pattern.
Our conclusions:
All L models have a shaped tunnel and a window.
All LA models have a flat tunnel and no window.
All C models have a flat tunnel and a window (except for N395M which has a shaped tunnel with a window, and N491M, which seems to have a customized tunnel with no window).
All C-55 models have a flat tunnel and no window.
If you have evidence which contradicts our findings, you are invited to send in a photo of your Mite cockpit to prove it. Actually, I'd like you to send in photos which support our findings, too!
Dave.

Here are the final survey results. As for a pattern, new evidence contradicts some of our earlier conclusions.You can decide for yourself!
If you'd like to add your Mite to the list, e-mail us with the facts.
Dave.
