Tinted canopies
Ben Hirashima wrote on 9/15/2018 11:00 PM:
Does anyone wear sunglasses with a tinted canopy? I wear prescription sunglasses while flying, and while the idea of a tinted canopy appeals to me, the thought of having to switch to regular glasses when getting in the cockpit is a bit of a turn-off. I have a pair of prescription glasses with tinted clip-ons that I leave in the glider in a safe place that I can reach while flying. Just before getting in, I put "dedicated" pair on and put the "walk-around" glasses form in that safe place. My other glider has a tinted canopy, and I find my photochromic glasses are good match the canopy - dark outside the glider, and enough lighter while inside the glider. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf |
