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

do those articulate around to the side windows?  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.

Yes, the LASAR visors articulate to the sides.

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!

I'll call tomorrow!

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.

i have them in mine

Echoing what Don said, yes. 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.

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.

Calling as well.  Thanks

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.

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.

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 ;-)

Ah but is it geo-synchronized?

I put my name on the list ~5 years ago.  Wonder if it's still there...

[amillet]

I got the last pair from Paul Lowen at a MAPA convention in Kerrville 7 or 8 years ago.  

[LASAR]

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.

[Raptor05121]

Whats the price for a pair of these?

[Andy95W]

$350.  Our older Mooneys will need an adapter mount, probably included.

@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,

Here is a picture of the hardware and instructions to install visors in older models.

Do you have any pics of a '65 install?  I'd be interested if they fit well and are functional.

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.

[Skates97]

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.
