Hi Bas,
i'm using a kodak proj, about 5yrs old but works great. the projector sits on a desk in front of the mirror, no angle.

Its a special mirror foil, i get a image of about 2.2m wide.

Good point, when I was using a glass mirror I had visible ghosting in the image. What is the mirror foil stuff Michael? I don't bounce project anymore but it would be good info for everyone.

Can someone please explain to me, how to get an image width that big with only 1.5m ?

I would really like to know, because all the projectors I try on projectorcentral.com with their "Projection Calculator Pro" dont give me those specs.

I have a 1.4m throw distance and I would like to get a 2m image.

I tried something a little radical this weekend. I took the screens out of a 65" DLP big screen TV and cut them down to fit my windscreen... about 42"x32". This totally encloses my cockpit now. I then have my overhead projector hitting a mirror in front of me and reflecting back onto the "new" cockpit windows. Here is a small video [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssGrjTIAzAc"]YouTube - Testing New Cockpit Wind Screen[/ame] showing a couple of take offs and landings with the test windscreen. In the video it appears to have a major hot spot but I don't see that from the cockpit. Not sure why the camera picks that up. Also, the stuttering is the recording web cam. You can see that even I stutter in the video as well to prove that it's the cam and not the display frame rate. Biggest bitch is that the display is a little fuzzy out toward the outer edges, not sure why or how to correct.

Anyway, I have not seen anyone trying to make cockpit windows out of old big screen tv screens so I thought I'd try it.

Bas,
the height of the image i get is about 1.5m. the image projected onto the mirror is only about .5mt x .5mt
