Ah....I can't recall ever having seen a Fly Baby so I guess that's why it didn't dawn on me. The noise level (not to mention the not being able to fly for 4-5 months a year) is one of the big reasons I've never been attracted to open cockpit aircraft. Also the idea of taking a bird or even a locust directly to the face doesn't seem all that appealing. I'd like a half-inch of polycarbonate (which is the approximate thickness of the windscreen in my design at this point) between myself and avian or arthropod interlopers.

Jump on a motorcycle without fairings or windshield and ride at 120 mph, you will get the idea.
Windshield configurations can help but open air is OPEN AIR.
No thanks. I may have signed my organ donor card but I'm in no hurry for my altruism in that regard to be acted upon.
