Without intending to spark a debate on the pros, cons, and potential hazards of having a rear view mirror in a glider, does anyone know a source for the mirror shown in the attached photo, which I came across on Facebook (no response from the one who posted the photo):

That looks like the standard mirror fitted to the ASH 26e to monitor the prop stop position before retracting. If that is so then it is no good as a wider angle rear view mirror.


After that mirror fell off in my motorglider on one flight I put a spare handheld mirror in the side pocket. This exact one. https://www.bicyclehero.com/us/catey...e-bm-300g.html. Works *great* for what I need, but that's checking the prop.
