If everything goes as planned, my partner and I will be taking possession of our new (to us) flying RV-4 on Saturday. But with summer fast approaching, I was thinking of ways to keep out of the sun.
Although I?ve recently seen pics of a RV-8 with a cut-down version of a RV-6 type of shade (center spine with horizontal spokes) , I see very few RV-4?s with any sort of canopy shade.
I have seen a pic of what looked like a 6 to 9 inch wide strip of shaded plastic film running along the top of the canopy. Has anyone tried this and might know a source?
Other than the film or a big hat, are there any other options available?
Thanks again for any info!
