Sun reflection heating canopy

Postby Darick » Fri Apr 17, 2015 8:05 am

I've heard reports of the reflection being hot enough that it can deform the canopy. For this reason I'm considering a polish and paint scheme for the wings to reduce this possibly as much a as possible. Has any one on the forum had this experience? Did you change the paint scheme? Use a canopy cover whenever parked in the sun? Your thoughts?
