I've been to all the local auto parts stores with no luck. Any suggestions out there for a sun shade that will adhere to the canopy vi= a static cling, etc. ?? Thanks, Angier, I have two "collapsible" Rosen sun shades made of fine mesh nylon with a sp= ring wire rim. They each have two suction cups in the middle that allow att= achment to the inside of the windscreen. Effective, but not as shady as I'd= like under some circumstances. Easy to use and reliable. Got them at Air V= enture several years ago; have not seen them advertised anywhere. You might= need to call Rozen directly? About $10 each as I recall? So I augment these with two strips of very dark sheet vinyl, about 6" by 12= ." Judy got them in the "pilot shop" at Page Field, Fort Myers, FL, but we'= ve seen them elsewhere. They adhere by static and are very effective, but s= mall. The combination of vinyl strips and the Rozen shades work very well f= or my IV-P. You'll want to be very careful about putting darkening things on the windsh= ield that obstruct your line of sight, especially for converging aircraft a= t your same altitude. I don't install them until we're in level flight, and= always remove them before we start down. They do the job. BOB
