My personal device is a flip-up type, which attaches to my glasses the way
flip-up clipon sunglasses do.
Yeah, I'm really tempted by these, but I prefer to wear contact lenses
when flying for better peripheral vision.
Our CFI doesn't like pilots he flies with to use hoods. Apparently
he had a near-miss involving the blind spot they create. Can't argue
with that.
I know of one pilot who has made foggles
from some wrap-around safety glasses
That's what mine a old scratched-up safety glasses with an
area of the lens taped over, then attacked w/ sandpaper and a dremel
tool.
For clamps, check the local home-improvement
store or Sears hardware store. You'd be surprised at the stuff you can
find there, if you spend some time looking.
Didn't see anything juicy at Home Depot, but I'll check Sears
and yeah, I coulda looked more and harder at Home Depot.
Thanks for input, Stan.
Cheers,
