I always believed that size didn't matter?

Tilly will happily give you, at no charge, additional
cut-to-size foam
inserts. I have three in my hat, but I've met another
pilot who flies with
a pair of socks in his hat in rough air.


Kinda give a new meaning to the phrase 'Put a sock
in it,' doesn't it.

While physically comfortble, I did not find it comforting. In strong
turbulence, whenever I looked out at the Pegasus' wings flapping
around, I felt compelled to review the bailout procedure. Eventually, I
stopped looking.

These flexible wings can also be a problem on field landings. If they
flex down and catch on a furrow, or in the crop, you are in for a wild
ride.

For those who adventurous and like to fly rotors, look at:

for why you should wear all the protection you can find - plus something to
read on the way down.
