[simpits-tech] Display Problem

[snar5 at mags.net]

I will try a variation of this the problem is this though,
in my tight space which actually is about 8 or 9 feet is
that if I face the projector backwards it would actually hit
my pit. I could probably mount a mirror just over the
windshield but that would be a small mirror, does the size
of the mirror matter?

Thanks
Mark
