Default Canopy tinting service


I have a glider with probably the darkest canopy I''ve ever seen. It's
absolutely great in the hot, high altitude skies of Moriarty during the
summer. Much cooler than the clear) canopy on the last glider I had.
However, it gets pretty chilly when running cloud streets at 17 k or
better. I can't complain about the visibility either. I don't have any
empirical data to back up my opinion. But I haven't hit anything yet.

In the winter, flying wave, I wouldn't mind having some more solar
energy in the cockpit, but since most of my flying is summer in hot
conditions, I'll take the darkroom. (It's so dark that NOBODY can even
see what I look like. A blessing, I am sure.
