I am going to order a canopy soon and I am wondering what different people think of tinted and non tinted canopies. I live in a dry place with over 300 VFR days. I plan to fly mostly day VFR, but a night VFR flight is not out of the question. I do plan to fly a lot of cross country flights. Can anyone with a tinted canopy, tell me how they see at night? I plan to order from Todd's Canopy's if that makes any difference.

Larry,
I'd be careful to buy a UV coated canopy in nothing darker than a light
champagne color. The tinted canopy would be amplified by sunglasses
that are more often than
not polarized. This could become an uncomfortable situation in less
than great lighting. Think internal canopy cover, retractable or a good
full brim hat first.
And GPS with autopilots aren't that good yet!

My canopy is tented and is a blessing on a sunny day. Night flight is
not an issue.
Do not archive - covered several times before.

I don't have any problem flying at night with mine. It's not much different than driving at night in a car with standard tinted windshield.
