Laurel, while not for an M25, this remains pertinent: [url]http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,5819.0.html[/url]
Our cockpit panel is down by my left kneecap. I just keep looking at the temperature gauge, and have gotten into a regular habit of doing so. I can't hear alarms worth a hill of beans when the engine is running!:)
