Well, it would seem tight quarters for manuvering a good shield inside a

diffract over the body into the glider, but that could also be hard to
control.

If you can manage to do it, though, I would bet that it would work.

I'll give it a try next time I fly. In the past, I've held the phone up
high in the cockpit so it good get a good view of the ground, which
worked well with my old analog/TDMA phone, but now that sounds like the
wrong thing to do.
