  • Need a Sun Dot Design!

    Looks like SE Regionals will feature a north-south runway. Who has a sun dot design or pictures? Sources? Let me learn from you!

        My sun visor consists of the tripod from a photographer's umbrella reflector coupled with a car clip-on sun visor. I bolted a piece of scrap plywood to the tripod for the visor to grab onto. Very quick to make, and it even comes with its own carrying bag!

        This isn't as big as the sun dot in the newsletter, and it doesn't completely obscure the sun. But I like it because I can still see the plane as it flies close to the sun. As you can see, we have tall trees right at the end of our runway, so it's important to still be able to see the plane, even when the sun is close to the trees. Especially when the sun is close to the trees.

        So what to do with the left-over umbrella reflector? I'm thinking of mounting it on a pith helmet for the ultimate in stylish sun protection. (Or not.)
