I was reading the review of various hoods in Consumer Aviation
(January 1999 - yeah thats 5 years ago !).

Hey Sanjay. Scott here.

Small 'net, huh?

I used the Francis IFR hood. I hated the Foggles as well as they let in
light and offered some 'cheating.' The Francis hood is an old classic.
Plenty of room for glasses if you need them and they allow for good
instrument scan, but really block out the windows.

If you want to try before you buy, I can bring them to next meeting. I
need to get some approaches in myself though. Let me know if you need a
safety pilot. (I'm out of town from next Monday through following Monday
is all.)
