I bought the MU-2 yesterday and really like it. Quite amazing how well it looks, despite its age. I'm hoping for a good discount now for version 2.
Will fly from Nuremberg to Montpellier in France today, for some holiday feeling - just returned from Montpellier in real life.
What seems to make sense for me is removing it after the hydraulic 3A is turned on but before nose door is closed (to satisfy their respective checklist entires). Then put back in after shutdown checklist, but before securing checklist, as this is when the pax are leaving so the door is open, for doing a quick post-flight walk around.
