Frustrated with reflections in my ariel photos I am looking again at a sliding
window in the cockpit Perspex. I'd be interested to know if it's practical to
stick a lens out at 130knts and whether it would be just too alarming/ noisy/
blowy. Re the window, the mecaplex one is around 500, so not cheap for a punt,
and I have concerns about small splits/ cracks appearing. Any comments from
anyone
who uses one would be appreciated. I already have three NCA air inlets so
it's not SO much about ventilation. I recall Pete Jeffers offering a jig a while
back.
An alternative might be a non reflective glass window lower down I suppose, in
the body where there is less light bouncing about. Or perhaps I should just
experiment
more with black tubes/ foam around the camera lens.
