Took the Fly Baby up last weekend, temperature 40 degrees

it's tough to talk on the radio! :-)

You can get some nice full face protection from
www.cabelas.com or try a motorcycle shop/snowmobile.


Yeah, but they look ugly. I wear a ski mask when the temps
drop below 35 or so.


You paint it to look like you're handsome.


I don't think they *make* that much paint! :-)

My wife just bought me a new flying helmet that avoids the ugly look of
motorcycle helmets. It's got full-face protection, stylish appearance, and
actually helps in aerodynamic control:
