I'm about ready to order my finish kit, and called Becky at Airplane Plastics about ordering the next darker tint.
She made me aware of a new material that they have been using for about 3 years that is also available. Apparently, it has had success on the Red Bull and show circuits. It is supposed to block all/most UV and greatly reduce the heat penetration and that users have said the reduced heat is significantly noticeable. Additional cost for the canopy and only the standard tint.
Anybody using this new material? What have been your results relative to the claims? Related, have you made any notes about its durability/resistance to cracking? Finally, it makes sense to me that if it can keep heat out, it might also be better at keeping heat in, which is important here in Minnesota. Any observations there?
