Glare on the iFly 700

I'm sure this topic has been beaten up before but is there any suggestions for fighting glare on the iFly 700. I have it mounted on the panel in my Ercoupe. Two things: I have a glare shield and I really can't afford a 720 at the moment.

Any suggestions?

I too have a 700 and haven't jumped up to a 720. Yes the glare does get in the way. I haven't found any solution either. I have mine mounted on the yoke of my 172M....

Re: Glare on the iFly 700

I guess the only way to do it is to get it out of the sun somehow but in my little Ercoupe that is kind of tough. I may have to beg my wife's forgiveness and invest in a 720 before it is all said and done. I currently have it mounted in a very convenient place on my panel right at eye scan level. Trying to put it in the shadows would spoil that.

Re: Glare on the iFly 700

Hey guys, this is no joke, but the glare on a 700 is worse when you wear a light-color shirt. Seriously, wearing a dark shirt really cuts down on the screen reflectivity and observed contrast. Try wearing a dark shrit - it works. If you have light colored upholstery, then maybe a mini-hood of some sort at the proper angle will cut down the reflected glare. ===Ralph
