back to glare! No problme in flight , but they are some on the ground when tou turn round the aircraft to make preflight checking ! better wear sunglasses ! otherwise , impossible !
for fun, i would say that it's a pleasure to hold hand of a skirted young lady aboard... :) and if you wear sunglasses she will never see what your eyes are looking for !

The garmin is a good old 196, black and white.
For the moment i leave it in aluminium finish, but it is an every time work ! The problem is calcareus water we have that spoils evrythings! I'm looking for something like a wax, that could protect without making a film like varnish, but that would make cleaning easyer. Glare is not a problem in flight never been really disturbed. That's because of angles between sun and your eyes a
In fact what you see on right side of the aircraft is a carter por the parachute back kevlar rope. I have a total parachute rescue system installed. It is authorized in our country on "microlights plane" ; It gives you a MTOW increase of 5% this means that MTOW can be of 472.5 kilos instead of 450. (French laws) My 601 is 296 kilos completely equiped, without petrol .
