Went out flying today, ATL to Myrtle Beach and back. 3+45. On the way back, the sun was just at that perfect angle where you got tired of holding your left arm up to keep it out of the left eye. Anyone know if someone makes/sells an "all angle" clip on sunshield or sunvisor that could be clipped/attached to the roll bar of the windscreen where the canopy closes??

Rosen Shade

I use this and it works well for any position the sun ends up being.

If you google stick on shades you will find many options like this one.

Have you considered the tinted static cling plastic shade?
I prefer it to the koger because I can put it anywhere.
2 sheets of it were a couple of bucks at Toys R Us.

I bought a couple of these for $7 each, removed the suction cup and made my own attachment hardware to the center post. Optical quality is good.

I often find that suction cups don't work too well at high cruising altitudes.
Maybe its light enough it will stay even at 12,500?

They are really light. I have only been as far up as 10,500. Plus, the price was right for me . FREE!
