3. I meant the MKII.
4. Is the sig a semi airfoil?
I do wear glasses but I can clearly see the plane....i just misjudged the distance the plane was from me. BDTSR. Did you have to have special lenses cut for the distance problem? My current prescription just deals with my near sightedness...
The SIG LT-40 has a flat bottom airfoil. The most popular plane with a semi symmetrical airfoil seems to be the Avistar...

I also have glasses for distance vision. I haven't had my eyes checked since my tree incident and have managed to steer clear of trees since. Judging by the number of posts I've seen where people have hit objects on the field, depth perception is a common problem and accidents are avoided only by familiarity of the field and any obstacles
