Well at least the bugs were external! Thanks Wayne for the information. I’ll try flipping it around and I’ll check with customer service if it’s still an issue.

Maybe they’re attracted to the CW...haven’t done much night operations. I’m kinda proud of having this problem of overuse! Still a long,long way to Mt. Goat award.
