Qwalton Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Does anyone know of any sun visors available for a '65 C? I checked on Rosen's website and they only offer them for '68 models and later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immelman Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Call LASAR. I have the LASAR "wiser visors" (I thnk they're called) in my 66E. I did recall seeing that mine came from the factory with some sort of visors and then they were replaced with the lasar ones sometime after.

Qwalton Posted June 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 My plane has no factory installed visors and most of the aftermarket visors I've seen seem to rely on the factory visor attach points. I think I'll call lasar and see what they have to say, thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I recall somebody having a visor that was mounted to the center post..... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpep Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I have a 67E and I just installed Lasar sun visors. They work well but were finicky to install Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooneyMitch Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I installed the LASAR Wiser Visors in Jolie's E a couple of years ago. These units articulate every which way and are very useful. Much more useful than the original. The most difficult part was accurately drilling the holes in the correct location on the plastic post pieces. This is necessary in order to match the new visor mounting stud. Get it right the first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb35 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Any pictures of these visors? I don't think the Rosens will fit my '67 F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpep Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I agree with Mitch regarding installation. I now have an extra hole that I need to discretely cover. Mine also articulate every which way. I will post some pics tommorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpep Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hi AGAIN RE: SUN VISORS. ATTACHED TO MY PIC PORTFOLIO ARE SOME PICS THEY REALLY WORK WELL AND ARTICULATE MANY WAYS PHILIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flight2000 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Philip, Did you do the install or did you have a mechanic do them for you? I'm currently visorless and want to install something to take the place of the originals when the 201 windshield went in. Where did you get yours from? Thanks, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpep Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hello Brian I actually installed them myself as no STC is required. I got mine from Lasar Regards Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooneyMitch Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi Brian. Yes, you can install the LASAR visors yourself. You do have to be very accurate when you mark/drill the mounting stud hole access point through your plastic pieces. It's a one shot deal. Otherwise, you have an extra hole that will need to be filled. Speaking from experience here. Drpep has posted photos for you of the installed units so that should give you a good sight reference.

flight2000 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks Gents. I appreciate the info and will give LASAR a call. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgpilot1 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I called Laser today to inquire about the visors for my 67 M20F. Seems they are all out of them and won't reorder for quite some time. Anyone know of any other options for pre 68 models? Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerobearing2 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Look for visors for my '68 M20C as well. Have inquiry pending with Laser; based on bgpilot1's comment, doesn't sound promising. Any other options? I don't think the Rosen's will work since my '68 doesn't have existing mount points.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPD Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Check out http://www.rosenvisor.com/aviation/detail.asp?idproduct=64&idCategory=15&idSubCategory=32. Although I can't promote it because it is non STCd, the small lens (5x12) works great. Good clear plastic, very adjustable, flips left or right with a single visor install. Plane is a lot safer knowing I can land into a setting sun without having the glare of not using a visor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerobearing2 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 According to Dan @ LASAR, they need enough interested parties to commit to purchasing the visors to run another batch and keep the cost down. LASAR needs about 40-50 orders to release the batch -- not sure how many they already have. I just added myself by completing the order form on their website and adding "add me to the order list" in the comments per Dan's instructions. If you need visors for pre '68 mooneys -- please join the list so we can them sooner :-) At this point, Dan's best guess was about 3-4 months out. If they get enough orders, they will build them sooner!

MooneyMitch Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 From my perspective, the LASAR Wiser Visors are great! We have certainly enjoyed them in the E model. Through the kindness of Paul Lowen, and the generosity of my Mooney wife, I now have them installed in the R! Yippee!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carusoam Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Mitch, If you get the opportunity, could you photograph the Wisors in the R? The mini stock eyebrows are so unappreciated... I was unaware that there is an alternative. Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooneyMitch Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 The LASAR visors do take up a bit more space, but the articulation value out weighs that, at least for me at this point. I will snap some photos and post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooneyMitch Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've put up 3 photos of the LASAR Wiser Visors installed on the Ovation. If I can answer any questions, please ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Mitch, Very nice articulation, way beyond the stock version. Thanks for the photos. Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooneyMitch Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I do love the "stock" look of things and that includes the Mooney visors. I would however, find myself saying bad things about those little cute Mooney visors as I was flying along wishing there were better at helping to diminish some sunshine on my face. So, I have carefully stored my stock little Ovation visors for now, and enjoying the utility of the Wiser Visors. Life is good when flying through the air in a Mooney.
