Members,
I am currently in the process of replacing all my windows (1966 A model) and I am contemplating moving forward with eliminating the windshield center post. It appears to be a great mod (STC) and well engineered - no doubt. I have gone back and read a lot of past discussions on the subject of eliminating the center post, but I am looking to get a new take on if anyone finds any value in this from a Pilot's perspective? I am not concerned with the cost, STC or doing the work, but the biggest thing I am trying to figure out, is does the removal of the center post actually help with visibility that much, or do people look at this more as a cosmetic benefit? I am also troubled that I would need to find a new location for the compass, and likely that would be on the glare-shield/dash and potentially just moving an obstruction that is normally higher in the line of sight, to more at the horizon and causing even more obstruction than where it was before.

Please let me know your comments and thoughts - thank you!
Jeff
