I'm told you haven't really flown in an "open cockpit" until you do it from a winch tow off a frozen lake. The closest I've come to an open cockpit was racing open wheel Formula Vee cars, and I learned you really want to have that small wind screen deflector in front of you, otherwise the force of the wind on your head can make your neck very tired, very quickly. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf |
