> Any experience out there with sun shades for the Legacy or LNC2's?
Another suggestion: Go to Wal-Mart. Purchase a large size automotive
windshield sun shield. Make a paper pattern of the size and shape you want
in your airplane. Using the pattern, cut the sun screen to fit your
airplane. Buy a bunch of small suction cups. Attach the suction cups to
the sun screen and stick them on the inside of you canopy. Something stiff
between suction cups (I used 1/16 inch welding rod) will reduce sagging.
Total cost of materials - about $15. Very effective. This is not just a
sun shade. Sun shades some times absorb heat inside the cockpit - bad. You
need a material that reflects the heat away from you - good. This is called
a sun shield.
A suction cup will occasionally lose vacuum which requires that you push on
it at pre-flight. Works for me.
