Wipers are only good on the ground or at low speed (taking off/landing). In flight you can't get rain to stick to the windscreen. Water runs off like it was RainXed.

That's why small planes like the Cherokee I fly don't have them -- the air from the prop clears the screen.

Besides, if it was bad enough to use them, you'd be IFR anyways.
TEAM PITA: Don't settle for a wannabe, only accept the real deal.
