I saw a nice sunshade installation in a two-place Lancair at Oshkosh.  (At 
least I think it was a Lancair.  I looked at so many planes....)  I believe 
this to be a "Koger sunshade" made by an RV builder named Roger Koger.  This 
sunshade is available through the Van's Aircraft parts catalog and the URL is:

http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?ident=967009075-164-438&browse
=airframe&product=koger-shade

It costs $149.  I'm not 100% sure that this is the same item, but it looks 
like it is.  The one I saw was a very nice product.  It slides back when you 
don't need it and the rails install with little suction cups.  The passenger 
and pilots shades are on separate tracks, so each can get what they want.  
Looked very lightweight, too.

By the way, in the gliders we just wear those goofy hats.  Baseball caps 
don't work, since the brim hits the canopy when you turn your head and the 
cap falls off.  If you do get one of those goofy hats, cut the little button 
off the top.  They can fracture canopies when your head hits then in 
turbulence.  (Of course, gliders have much lower wing loading than 
Lancairs...)

[There was an article by Jim Frantz in issue 43 of the LNN regarding his
installaion of the Koger SunShade in his 360.  He spoke 
glowingly of its
effectiveness and recommended the product highly.
