We have a very light weight, white, cockpit cover we bought from Bob Barube in
Lakeland, years ago. It keeps the cockpit nicely cool on hot summer days, by
preventing the cockpit from becoming a green house.

Maybe a space blanket with a cotton backing would be ok

All this theory is very good, but 2 questions:
1. Why was the cockpit temperature so high? (subjectively measured by
sweating pilots)
2. What do we practical builders and pilots (uneducated in the science of
heat transfer) do to keep our aircraft cool in the sun - i.e. what type of
cover is best?
Thanks in advance,
Paul :-)
