Flying north and south, I found that the hot sun on me and my ipad are the biggest issues... My current visors are ok for forward shading. Quote

LASAR Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Hey everyone, Dan in parts keeps a running list of people who are interested in visors. When the list is large enough to justify production, we can have them made. If your name is not on Dan's list, give him a call at (800) 954-5619. Would love to see a new batch made! 4 Quote

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. i have them in mine Quote

In fact, they articulate all over because they have a double-ball hinge. I personally like the clips, just handy to have and if the sun is so intense that it is burning through the shade you can clip a a sheet of paper in there to block it out. 1 Quote

For our many friends who have gone paperless in their airplanes (despite the fact that "paperless" offices now use more paper than ever), will the clips hold their iPad in such a fashion as to block the sun while leaving the screen visible?

Perfect spot to clip an iPhone plus to view weather. Quote

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. I just installed a pair of LASAR visor that my wife found on eBay. The kit came with a bracket, hardware, and instructions to install the visors in older models without attachment points. 1 Quote

No way they would hold an iPad, but thanks to all the guys who said that it holds an iPhone--brilliant! I never thought of that. BTW, I am so old school that I print a kneeboard sheet of the airport directory for all the ports I plan to visit. Clips perfect for it and instant access ;-) 1 Quote

amillet Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 I got the last pair from Paul Lowen at a MAPA convention in Kerrville 7 or 8 years ago. Quote
LASAR Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 sounds like Dan got a few more orders on his list for visors! Thats great! Hopefully we will have enough to go to production soon on those. 1 Quote
Raptor05121 Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Posted July 22, 2017 Whats the price for a pair of these? Quote
Andy95W Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 $350. Our older Mooneys will need an adapter mount, probably included. https://lasar.com/mods/ Quote
carusoam Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 @LASAR, can you share a name? With Dan and Sheri we were on a first name basis, sort of... Looking forward to building that same level of knowing you as well... best regards, -a- Quote
Schinderhannes Posted July 22, 2017 Report Posted July 22, 2017 Here is a picture of the hardware and instructions to install visors in older models. 2 Quote

m20j Posted July 25, 2017 Report Posted July 25, 2017 Spoke with Dan and added my name to his list. He said he is meeting with the machinist this week and anticipates the production run to be ready in 4-6 weeks, but will know more after they talk. Quote
Skates97 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Posted July 25, 2017 I sent them a message that I would like to be added to their list and can provide a deposit/full payment prior to them beginning production again if necessary. Hopefully they are available again soon. 1 Quote
