I am 6'4" and my head is quite a bit above the turtledeck on my Sky Scout, I have mused over a separate headrest, but cannot decidehow to do one.Thanks,Ray KrauseSent from my iPadOn Jan 6, 2013, at 1:37 PM, "caldwrl" wrote:> > Jack,> > Much like Mark, when I received the newsletter and read the article, I am nowleaning to this style of windshield.

Gerry,It's a GoPro. Seems like a really nice little camera. I mounted it on a pieceof PVC then tie wrapped it to my struts so it is positioned a foot or so behindthe trailing edge. With the camera's wide setting it allows the view to gofrom the cockpit to straight ahead to see where you're going. Lots of fun!Jack...

I'm like you, Shad. I wish my windshield was about 2" taller. I have cabinheat, and a cover for the front cockpit so everything stays pretty warmexcept my face. 20 minutes into a flight when the temps are in the 40's orlower and I can't feel my face anymore.Ought to be able to get the Piet in the air this weekend, though. Forecastfor Saturday and Sunday has clear skies and highs in the 70's.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____

Jack and ShadBe a bit careful in making your windshiel any taller. I made mine taller about 19" tall, but I have gone thru a lot of windshields, I broke 3 last summer alone. Now I tried building a frame and thank you Jack for the article in the BPA news letter that was great I was just going to try building one. Good luck to both of you.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Yes, I used a cabin heat box from ACS and it just dumps through a 2=94 hole inthe firewall into the front cockpit. It does keep my feet warm, and I canstand a good deal of cold if my feet are warm. For cold weather flying Ifind a good wool balaclava that covers my face to be essential. Dressedvery warmly, with a balaclava , the front =91pit covered and cabin heat on Ihave flown it from Raleigh NC to Smith Mountain Lake VA (a two hour trip)at 35=B0, but to quote Axel Olsen in TGWP, =93I didn=92t like it much!=94Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia _____
