The vent doesn't bother me exactly, it's just an interesting effect I
thought about. As far as the sport canopy goes, the last time I flew I
almost froze to death right in the air, so I'm going to have to pass on
that idea at least until the weather turns warm again.
freezing is half the fun of the sport canopy. the "im at cloud base
and i cant feel my toes but im not going down cause im higher than my
CFIG" mindset kicks in.
"To death" was only a slight exaggeration there, I was shivering like mad
and could barely get out of the cockpit by the time I landed. It was a
little more than "I can't feel my toes" that time.
