Angier,
Great if you are never going to fly at night.
Get in your aircraft in the hangar with the doors closed and the lights off
while wearing a white shirt. Make sure the glare shield is in place.
Close the canopy and turn on the panel (if you can) or just a flashlight shining
on the panel. Look around at the canopy and notice that the thin band
above the glare shield that blocks reflection is the only place that you can
easily see out. This is what it looks like at night.
If you paint the inside canopy frame white (whether flat or gloss) it
will just add to the night time reflective visual noise inside the
canopy.

For
those who've bIased the trail ahead of me, I've been planning to
paint my canopy interior surface the same high gloss white as the
rest
of the exterior. Since this is such a small surface area, would
this
be an OK plan or would a satin or flat finish be
preferable?
