REFLECTOR:Tinted Windows

[Dave Scharfenberg]

I have light tint on the windshield and dark tint on the side windows.  Both
tints were available when I got my kit (a long time ago).  My setup is great
during the day but too dark at night in my opinion.  If I were to do it over
I would go with the light tint on the sides and clear on the front
windshield.  If the dark tint is available for the windshield, I wouldn't
suggest anyone use that and try to fly at night.
