GUN SIGHT
The sight mount needs to be a tube instead of a cylinder and a projection lens put in it. The optics were just like a modern "red-dot" pistol sight and projected a virtual glowing ring, cross hairs and dot onto the target plane. The position was largely independent of the pilot's head position taking that element out of the equation. The diameter of the ring was adjustable (I believe) so that when the pre-defined target wingspan fit the ring it was time to "mash the pickle" under the left thumb and walk the tracers onto the target. Some of the sight screens were round and some rectangular. I might make this one rectangular just to make the job of creating a mounting bracket easier.
Blogger is also driving me nuts. Why is it that the picture size posted is different than that selected and how is the default font changed? The "instructions" and "results" seem to live in different universes.
