If you look to the left and below the mount you will
notice we prepared a flat area for the mount. When
the time came to install the visor we determined it
needed to be higher on the door channel. It was too
late in the process to make a change but it would be
easy to modify the area or form a type of washer or
gasket if it looked like it was needed. The visor is
very helpful flying into the sun and is a very easy
and straitforward solution.

who purchased a visor at SNF, please post pictures
and dimensions of your
mount.
Thanks.

I flew to SNF in a Cessna 310 with Rosen visors and they are a quality
piece. I liked the feature on the 310 version where the lens would slide
across by loosening a thumb screw. I noticed on one of your pictures
that the Cirrus lens had that feature, but I do not see that feature in
the information on the Rosen site. What are you planning? do you think
the 310 setup is just too large, too expensive or too square?
As for a machined mount, I would think that there is a lot or
variability in that area depending on how much shaping and sanding you
do on the cabin top. I would think the flox build up would be the best
way to go.

Thanks for the feedback. In regards to your questions, I think the 310
visor is all 3 (too large, too expensive and too square). The Cirrus visor
is more rounded (fitting the style of the plane), plenty big IMHO for both
the Cirrus and the RV-10, and cheaper (for whatever reason) than the 310
visor. I probably won't hear back until later this week at the earliest on
the price, but I hope to have it come in close to the show special price for
the setup that David got.
Do not archive.

Don't get hung up on the size or shape of the plastic visor. I had
Rosen's in my Baron, and For $10 I went to TAP plastic and picked up
tinted plexi and cut it to my 'custom' shape. The mount and the
features are much more important.

Deems, Deems, Deems,.,,,............
....You cannot put $10 tinted Plexi in a DREAM plane. You need to go to Sun N Fun, pay $300+ for this Tinted Plexi .............THEN convince yourself you just got a great deal. Please don't crush those that feel the need to spend mucho bucks for Novel items for their plane project for which they CLAIM they do not have a budget for......................(SARCASM).
I saw my friends Glastar the other day...........He bought some white 1/4" waffle board, cut two visors out of it (8" x 15"). He then took 3/8" hollow aluminium tubes and cut a slit in them..........then slid the waffle board onto the aluminium tube slits. Mounted it in his Glastar and now has 2 visors for $6.99. They are lightweight, can be painted any color, and block the sun nicely. More then one way to build a $250,000 plane for under $100,000 and still have nice amenities inside. I realize some will consider that a blasphemous statement.........but doing your homework, ignoring the norm whle getting creative, and shopping around can be fun when building these Dream Birds.
P.S. The other day I made a few thought generating statements about the different EFIS units that are on the market and how they compare WEIGHT wise. Since then Tim and Jesse have made excellent points on what to consider when purchasing one. For those who have already decided THEIR system is the best and have YET to even fly one hour behind it please ignore this post. For those that want to consider PROS and CONS of other units feel free to respond. When you are considering EFIS units there are several NEEDS, WANTS, and NICE TO HAVES. I think you need to prioritize your needs first.........also eliminate those units that are budget breakers. Once you have done this and have narrowed your choices get time FLYING behind the ones you are still considering. All other input from online "experts" will most likely just confuse you and frustrate your wife/friends with all your agonizing. Mounting ease, SPACE required (panel AND subpanel) need to be considered, and WEIGHT.
Just my 20 cents worth,
