Hello to all Ifly lovers,

Recently I bought an Ifly700 (At the time the 720 was not available) and I'm extremely impress for all the info and tools that this little wonder can do. The only cons against the unit is the glare that really make it difficult to see it. I'm very sure that will be some that can sell their 700 and will go for the 720 just for the glare solve issue in this model, unfortunely for me, I can't do that for the simple reason that took me time just to save in my budget that money and now I need to resale it for much less and pay more for just to get the glare issue resolve? Mr. Boyd, you make Garmin small with this wonderfull product of yours. I'm sure that you know that they are people that for them money is not that a problem but also is another group that with sacrifice and the love for flying in our flying machines, make the sacrifice to spend the money. The point is: Will be a cure (not the hood because in my situation don't work) for those Ifly700 with the glare problem? My intentions are not to offend no one, just to defend my invested money.

Sincerely yours,

Pastor Luis A Quijano

Pastor Louis: One thing that can really help the glare issue on the 700 is to wear a dark shirt. Seriously, the screen reflects a light colored shirt causing glare but wearing a dark one improves visibility quite a bit. I hope your 700 is not located in the cockpit where the upholstery, if light colored, will interfere. Enjoy! --- Pastor Ralph
