Something like this: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pspages/sunguardbig.php?clickkey=18189
Slap it on, peel it off, move it around. Can usually find something similar at your local Walmart aircraft dept. or RV superstore (Camping World) and usually cheaper.

Static tint at Wal-Mart is reusable. I use it on my Excavator. Same size cab, same size oven. HaHa. Just my $.02
Here is an interesting article on the use of the cling film on a Bonanza:

I started with cling film which worked fine for one season, then the pilot's side decided to loose it's cling and I had to remove it. I replaced with an inexpensive WalMart retractable shade which is OK for the moment.

Paul, I thought you had the one with Dora the Explorer on it...? :p
I used cling film (home depot) but put it on before mounting the canopy so the edges are captured. No complaints after 4 years though I think the visibility is not as good has high quality more permanent films.
Nope, it's Pikachu for me :):):) Attachment 7155Quote:

Go to your local auto supply parts store (Advance Auto) or (Pep Boys) and pick up a pair of retractable sun shades. they have suction cups and each fits perfectly overhead. They're normally under $10 each. They're perforated enough to where you can see through them while giving lots of shade.
Just went to wal mart and got static cling shade will try it tomorrow thanks for all the help
just got back from a 118 mile trip to Ocean City Md and the static cling sun guard worked fine. I had to trim one corner as it was over a hole at the wing but worked great, kept me cool and I could even see my gps, thanks guys for all the ideas
Glad you like it. One caveat I did not mention is that it can get blown out of place if flying with the doors open. Yikes.
Some pic,s of our sun screen. It is a cut down window shade that I got from lowes. Works good.
