Standard Oudi and smoke tinted canopy?

Has anyone used the original OUDi under a smoke tinted thermotec canopy? My glider has a tinted canopy and the sun load seems much lower than a clear canopy.

Thanks,
Scott.

Scott,

I use my original Oudie under my clear no-tint canopy and in general don't have any issues seeing the screen. It is easier for me to see the details when I turn off the terrain background, which is not an issue for us flying here in the middle of the USA. I also have young eyes. I bet you'd see it just fine in your SHK but if you haven't decided before the Wichita vintage rally (you are coming, right???) then you're more than welcome to test it out with my original Oudie there.

I have a smoked Thermotec canopy on my ASW-20 and I use an original Oudie. It works great and is very easy to see and use. I am 53 years of age and my eyes are OK, I use glasses for reading and the PC.

Thanks for the replies, Tony & Ron,
I had some indecision about waiting for the bright OUDI, when I
realized that my tinted canopy may have allowed for the cheaper
original to work well.
I hope to make the VSA reggata in KS this fall.

Thanks,

Scott.
