[NSRCA-discussion] Sunglasses

[Jim Woodward]

In most cases I like Zurichs, med rose.  However, flying at the Apopka
field in the morning, you need a welders mask. ;)

Like several have already stated, it is a matter of personal preference.

 

Don't use polarized glasses for flying RC. The polarization does strange
things that make the orientation of the plane confusing sometimes.

 

For low light conditions (setting sun, or dark overcast) I like the
yellow lenses, similar to "shooters glasses". It increases the contrast
dramatically. At other times I like the "blue blocker" types, depending
on the color of my plane. 

 

One thing not usually mentioned in a discussion about sunglasses, it is
possible to pick a lens color that works well with a particular paint
scheme to increase contrast. For instance, rose or red lens sunglasses
will increase the contrast of a plane with a red/blue color scheme. The
red will not get darker, but the blue will look almost black. It also
makes the blue sky look darker, which makes your plane stand out more. 

 

You may want to take a good color picture of your plane, and look at it
through different lenses to see which one you prefer.

looking at options.  I've read where rose colored lenses are supposed to
offer the best contrast.  Any opinions, experiences, etc.?
