[3] In closed-cockpit aircraft, it is usually taped to the aircraft canopy.

The Cadet was the first glider to be flown at Elmira, New York after Wolfgang Klemperer, Warren Eaton and Earl Southee surveyed the area and determined it had potential for soaring flights. One flight was flown by Jack O'Meara , a factory pilot for Baker-McMillan, who had a flight of one hour and 38 minutes from Elmira's South Mountain.
