I have been living with suction cup car shades in the plane for the last year. This is what I currently have: Shades
While they work pretty well for the passenger rear-windows and the doors, they are an unnecessary distraction, inconvenience, and safety issue for the wind shield.
I am ready to bite the bullet and put in some visors.
I am really only finding two options out there.
- Blue Sky's Visor - ~$200
- Rosen + 3rd Axis - ~$520
Reviews I am reading on Blue Sky are pretty abysmal. They do not stay in place, any turbulence causes them to move, drop every time you touch down, etc. The tightening screws eventually give out and things have to be replaced.
Rosen is apparently made from solid gold, personally dug by Tibetan monks on the north face of Mount Everest.
2 fellow 10's on the airport have switched from BS to Ro$en.
Are there any other options out there? Is this truly a matter of you get what you pay for?
What are you guys using? What would you recommend?

No issues with my Rosen’s. Trouble free and I have never given any thought to them failing. They just work as advertised, so the thought has never even crossed my mind.
Out of sight, out of mind.

You get what you pay for with Rosen’s- but I’m shocked that they are north of $500. But then, nothing surprises me anymore.

I have Rosen’s on my Cessna 170B and like them so well I bought a set for my RV-10 project. If you go to SNF or OSH they do give a slight “Show Special” discount.

I've had the Blue sky visors for many years now. There was a time when
they didn't want to stay in place very well, but after tightening them
up a bit they work fine for me. They're far cheaper, as you noted,
but also lighter, and more compact and easy to fold out of the way.
I agree that by all appearances the Rosen visors are built tougher
and everything else. I just don't think that $520 has any real
world way to justify that kind of price for a little bit of aluminum
and brackets, and plexi, and once the price gets that high I get
a little bit bothered to the point that I find it hard to support
them. To many others it may be well worth it. To me, I've been
happy with mine for much less cost. Your best bet is to
visit a couple of planes and physically see them first hand to
see what you find satisfactory. If you do go with Rosen, at
least buy them at some show special price.

Okay guys. If you place any value on ‘looks’ just skip this post.
I’ll pay airplane prices for airplane parts, but a sun visor? I took a piece of 2x4, drilled a hole thru it, cut it lengthwise so now I had two semi-circular holes, put it together with some bolts and wingnuts on the center post. Tension on the bolts adjusted so it slides up and down on the post with some force applied, but otherwise stays put. I think I put some felt or velco inside the hole, not sure. Two dowl rods extend out horizontally on each side. Attached to each rod is a green plastic visor from ACS with its suction cup removed ($15 iirc). These have pretty good optical quality. I can move them up/down, or side to side a bit, but no side window coverage. Rotate up and out of the way when not in use. Look like hell but they work.

I agree with Tim. I bought mine at a Flymart, but believe they are the
Blue Sky. I might have needed to adjust tension initially. I rarely move
mine much from the straight ahead max shade position, which probably
reduces wear and tear. Otherwise, just buy some static cling tinting
material, cut into appropriate size/shape, and slap it up there. That is
what I use for side windows.

I’m another happy Blue Sky customer. Coming up on 10 years and north of 1000 hours. I flew professionally with Rosen’s for decades and they are great. I looked at both when I was building. One thing I didn’t particularly care for was the size of the Rosen’s. In my opinion, they’re too big for the airplane, when compared to Blue Sky. I adjust the tension screws once or twice a year, and have had no problems. I can even adjust them in flight with the short Phillips head I keep in the cockpit to open my oil door on the cowling.

I’ve got the visors that Blue Sky make specifically for the RV10 and would recommend them. They are made well and they fit and work extremely well, and look good. Fitting was simple with each side only needing one hole in the pillar and secured by the one screw. After the initial fit I applied release agent to the square mounting peg and built up around the peg about 3/4inch with a epoxy/flox mix which gave more security and support to the mount and also a more finished look, IMHO Cheers from Western Australia

Okay guys. If you place any value on ‘looks’ just skip this post.
I’ll pay airplane prices for airplane parts, but a sun visor? I took a piece of 2x4, drilled a hole thru it, cut it lengthwise so now I had two semi-circular holes, put it together with some bolts and wingnuts on the center post. Tension on the bolts adjusted so it slides up and down on the post with some force applied, but otherwise stays put. I think I put some felt or velco inside the hole, not sure. Two dowl rods extend out horizontally on each side. Attached to each rod is a green plastic visor from ACS with its suction cup removed ($15 iirc). These have pretty good optical quality. I can move them up/down, or side to side a bit, but no side window coverage. Rotate up and out of the way when not in use. Look like hell but they work.

My comment was aimed at the fact that two previous attempts to post a picture had failed (and since deleted), but I can see your interpretation. At least you were forewarned about the lack of beauty! I think the photo exaggerates their size; each is 6” x 12”.

Ah sure. So it’s there but just that the email viewers can’t see it.
That makes sense, thanks Lenny!
