Just read the post about using the center window to prevent a ball cap from 
flying off.
 
I don't like the center window because in the event of an engine fire on start 
up, I like to have the seat belts unfastened and windows down all the way in 
case both pilot and passenger feel compelled to get out the plane at the same 
time. 
I have had a dozen nice ballcaps made with Ercoupe and the tail number 
embroidered on them and they kept flying away. Curiously enough the headsets 
did not fly away because they have a cord to save them. So I attached a foot 
long piece of fishing line to the cap adjustment strap and put a thing I found 
in my fishing tacle box ( I am sure it has a name, No, It is not a fishook ) 
and attach the cap lanyard to the headset. It has saved the cap at least a 
dozen times already.
