LASAR Visors

[Raptor05121]

Hey @LASAR, now that you're on the site, any chance we could roll a group buy together and get another run started?

[FlyboyKC]

That would be cool.

Do lasar visors install differently than Rosen?

[Brandontwalker]

After fighting with my factory visors, I may be game too. What do the Lasar visors look like? What was the cost?

Fantastic visors. I think I paid $100 (not from LASAR):

[Northern Mooniac]

I would be in!

I'd be happy with just the mounting hardware.  My 201 came with a pair of Lasar visors, but the pilot side is missing the bolt/washer/cover.  the threads aren't long enough for a self locking nut so it comes loose any time I move it.

Do tell! Where did you get those babies?

[steingar]

I'd get another set of Rosens, had them on both my other aircraft.  But gee, they don't make visors for Mooneys!  What a drag.  I'd love see this as well.  Being able to see out the window is a pretty big deal.

If memory serves, from a guy here or on the MAPAlist. He had bought them and hadn't installed them before selling his Mooney.

They are LASAR "Wiser Visors", $350 here. They have made them bigger since I got mine. Frankly, they are so superior to the originals that I'd resist my CB instincts and buy them.

Forget the Rosens...way overpriced and no better than the LASARs. In fact, I think the LASARs articulate better, very easy to put them exactly where you want them.

The reason I was asking about the Rosen is IIRC, the older model mooneys can't have them installed.  I think it's 65 and older models.  Something to do with an attachment point not being present in those models.  I didn't know if it applied to the lasar visors.

The 65's don't have the outboard mount, I have seen Rosens mounted to the center bar (better than nothing)

LASAR hasn't had those visor's available for a few years now. But they did have the lenses. I ordered a set of "replacement" lenses and then made my own brackets for my M20C. They worked nicely.

I always seem to have a headwind, and I always feel like I'm flying toward the sun. 

[Htwjr]

To quote from Planes, Trains and Automobiles "You're going the wrong way!"   I would like visors also.  I always wear a cap but visors would be better.

[steingar]

I wonder what it would take for them to make more.  Me want.

[Piloto]

I just put on my baseball cap when heading into the sun. It works very well. An got it for free at Sun n' Fun. Even my wife wear them.

I wear a ball cap at all times in the aircraft (despite the fact that I deplore ball caps).  But flying into the sun is murder on this blue-eyed northerner.  Good visors really help.  And like I said, not to many things are more important in an airplane than being able to see.

By the way, your woman looks really happy in that photo.  NOT

My wife has a visor that just lives in the plane...

I find flying blindfolded really eliminates sun glare.

Do you fish blindfolded?

[jkhirsch]

Funny, I didn't know anyone here did anything with their eyes open.

Is feeling those large lady's blindfolded better or worse??? They say when you lose one sense the others are heightened. And I don't think that would be a good thing....

The LASARs have a SS pipe clamp that attaches to the cage bar on each side. I think they will fit any Mooney.
