Check out the following page for goggles:http://www.icc-comm.com/motorcycles/goggles.htmlThey have authentic looking goggles that fit over glasses.For more pages do a web search using the word "goggles".Other news, our fuselage is complete enough to sit in. My partner and Iare building a long fuselage ship. I'm 6' 200 lbs ( 200!!!! that sure isdepressing in print) and the rear cockpit is surprisingly roomy. I didn't feelthe least bit cramped. The instrument panel is closer to my face thanexpected but not a problem. The leg holes were made larger to preventbruised shins.Greg Cardinal>>> Steve Eldredge 01/15/98 10:01am >>>Well, I wear glasses and they cover them and still feel really comfortable.

I have read all of the discussion about snowboard goggles, etc. Why notget the real thing? I don't think that they cost much more than a goodpair of snowboarding goggles... Flight Suits Ltd. sells several stylesof goggles, leather and canvas caps, etc. If you buy a leather bomberjacket they even give you a white silk scarf!!! Great store! I boughta nomex flight suit and leather flight boots from them. Check out theirweb site and get a free catalog.http://www.flightsuits.com/index.htmOn Thursday, January 15, 1998 8:20 AM, Greg Cardinal[SMTP:CARDIGJ(at)mail.startribune.com] wrote:> Check out the following page for goggles:> > http://www.icc-comm.com/motorcycles/goggles.html> > They have authentic looking goggles that fit over glasses.> For more pages do a web search using the word "goggles".> > Other news, our fuselage is complete enough to sit in.
