My experience with freetrack so far hasn't been good, chiefly because the viewing angle of the LEDs i could find is not wide enough. I am sure you can imagine how frustrating not being able to view freely during a dogfight is... I live in Singapore, a small city, where I have very remote hope of finding the Sfh465xx LEDs recommended in the manual.

After consulting the manual, I came across the method of increasing the viewing angle of the LEDs by "filing the lens tips down flat". But I have no idea what that means... Can somebody please enlighten me on this, please? Or do you have better methods? I really appreciate it... Thanks in advance!

Yes, file them down with a file or a nail file. And finish with some fine sandpaper (800 or 1000). You can even polish them with polish cream or toothpaste.
Keep a light curvature on top.
