The static cling is the way to go. I use 5% in the back and 20% up front. I keep some squares of 5% rolled up in the plane to slap up where the sun is really bad. It causes a slight distortion in the view but, nothing that would affect safety. Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

...These things cling to glass like nobody's business. It will need to hold tight enough to support a full size iPad. I'm not 100% sure of the mounting spot yet, so I don't want to drill the panel just yet, and this seems like a nice way to try out a location before I commit with a dril.

PIREP: Jet Shades removable tinted shades
EricJ replied to tim417's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
I have a windshield strip and a pilot's side upper strip that I made with the cling stuff from Walmart. They've both held up for years with no issues. They're easy to replace if something does happen to them. -
PIREP: Jet Shades removable tinted shades
Skates97 replied to tim417's topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
...I just use Gila static cling tint on my rear windows and keep a few extra pieces to put wherever the sun is coming in. I wrote a post on how to tint windows, it's pretty easy and inexpensive. The Gila tint starts to get a little blurry after a few years so I replace it as needed. https://intot... -
...I like the idea of them being easily removable and not being stuck like the static cling . I need to email them because I want both the back and front windows in the dark shade. They only offer the mid shade for the fronts. I agree it does help a ton with just simple tint. I also have the plane cove...

...It’s static cling so the only trouble I’ve ever had is when the oat gets too cold it is harder to make it stick.

...I threw it out and used the case to keep a static cling shade in. The zipper on the case is now broken.

“Gila” static cling film. You can get on Amazon or at autozone. it’s about $35 per roll which is almost enough to do the whole plane. You can cut it into squares or rectangles, or install like regular tint. I actually applied it on the entire back windows, and carry four or five squares t...

Avionics Access Panel's Rubber Seals
0TreeLemur replied to C.J.'s topic in Vintage Mooneys (pre-J models)
...It also doesn't cling to anything. The panels are easy to remove when you use the weatherstripping. And after you remove them, they don't have black gunk on them. Many upsides with using the weatherstripping. Oh, and it works really well at keeping water out. -
Opinions on a new panel layout
ArrowBerry replied to ArrowBerry's topic in Avionics/Panel Discussion
...Obviously we're shooting for improvement and higher standards but it seems archaic to me to cling to these "primary" relics. A properly calibrated G5 runs off the same pitot static lines as the analog gauge, and the primary is still in the panel--albeit not right in front of you, but still availabl... -

...He may cling to unrealistic expectations for another 10 years. And don’t spend any money on a thorough PPI thinking that you can use that as negotiating tool to get the price down to a realistic level. You might as well pile up a couple thousand dollars and set it on fire. You should on...

...a tiny amount will cling to the bore of the injector when the engine is stopped. The oxygen will then oxidize it, and then fuel flow through it when the engine is run again, will not remove it? I'm not as smart as I thought I was. Thanks for the education.

...I also put the static cling window tint on my 4 side windows and that helped tremendously without negatively effecting visibility. I'd actually say I can see better now without the glare from the sun. ***EDIT TO ADD*** I like frozen water bottles or freezer packs in it best...

...Add the static cling tint to your rear windows to help with the heat. Then take a few spare squares of the static cling , fold them up, and keep them in your seat back. You can pull them out and put them wherever you want on the front windows and up high on the windscreen in flight to block sun. Whe...

Never thought it'd be just too darn hot to fly, then summer came.
bcg replied to McMooney's topic in General Mooney Talk
...I also just added the cling tint, which I think will help as well. I do what I can if the pre-flight before removing the cover and get the B-Kool running once I do. If I can get 30 minutes from it on the ground and another 45 - 60 when we land, it covers the critical heat. Sent from my Pixel 6a... -

...use the static cling . It is easy to use and easy to remove if you want to. I wrote up a step by step a few years back. After a couple years it gets a little hazy so I just remove and replace it. https://intothesky.com/window-tinting/

If you use anything but the cling (removable) tint or shades (https://justplanetint.com/collections/aircraft-kits), you risk that a mechanic down the road will not sign off. I had that happen in 2007 in an annual-gone-bad and ended up having to remove the auto-type tint to get the annual signed...

...some shipping cling -wrap, and some bungee cords. Adjust as necessary for materials availability. The pool noodle/pipe insulation/bubble wrap idea isn't bad. You do want to cover up the back of the hub so that dirt/dust/crap doesn't get in the prop hub. If it's a three-bladed prop it get...

...People often say straight weight 50 is better cause it’s thicker when cold so it clings to engine parts better and longer, but it’s not thicker at shutdown, so it doesn’t really cling better. So all that we need to do to prevent engine corrosion is to keep it warm? Has to be more to...

...YET- Many of us still cling to the CB Club and look for ways to get the quick and cheap annual, do minimal maintenance and have numerous items INOP in the airplane. What we have in many cases are in reality RUST BUCKETS that we go aloft in. And its us doing it to ourselves. J...

...I’ve always used the Gila static cling tint. Works really well. input it on the back windows and leave it there, then I cut four or five 12x12 pieces and move them around as needed. Sometimes I put them three or four thick to bock certain points. works very well, just have to put them on...

The GILA cling tint works well and can be cut to fit and @Skates97 has a link to it: https://intothesky.com/window-tinting/
