I have not experienced that problem in my 6A with a Koger sun shield.

I've a -6A with slider and Koger sunscreen and glare shield on the iPad2 and
so far I've not had issues reading the screen. I've noticed that the touch
screen seems a bit sluggish in the air and now I'm wondering if these
screens are thermal sensitive and if the screen is warm then it won't sense
your touch. Anyone else noticing something like this?
.
I am also running Wing X trial and notice some differences:
Wing-X puts the airport identifier over the airports so you can spot
airports when zoomed OUT which is great. However when zoomed IN, those
identifiers are in the way. Wish one could turn them off and on as needed.
Wing-X has a touch feature within SUA which shows a description and
controlling frequency. Foreflight, has SUA on their system if you show ALL
in the "what's here" tap, and then lets you expand a SUA selection for more
info. Sometimes the controlling frequency is listed and sometimes it is
not. Don't know what is different but it had to be something to do with the
data that Foreflight uses to drive their information screen. IFR fliers
probably won't have this issue but MOA's seem to be everywhere these days.
I've originally thought Wing X split screen would be great, watch your
progress on the map and have and IAP chart to direct your approach and not
do the geo referencing on the approach plate. The split screen is pretty
neat but if you want IAP charts shown it apparently must be one for your
destination airport and not some interim stopping airport. I'm beginning to
think that the split screen function is not a big deal.
Wing X maps load quicker and scroll quicker than Foreflight on my iPAD 2 but
when zooming in, some clarity gets lost.
Wing X does not automatically move to the TCA maps like Foreflight will when
zooming in on those airports (mainly class B airports) that have them.

For those who don't have an iPad yet, here is another awesome solution that
I have been looking into:
http://www.essentialflight.us/Products/Chartflier/Screenshots
2 Big Benifits: COST, Full ADS-B capable WEATHER and TRAFFIC.
The system uses tablet PC's instead of the iPad which really provides a lot
more versatility in terms of device size and features. They offer a
complete package including a convertible tablet display pre-loaded with a
year's subscription for $399. It me it is much easier to use than
for-flight. And it ready for ADS-B inflight weather and Traffic (got to buy
the UAT too).
They have free sample software to try out on your computer.
It is a great EFB and sectional moving map, ADS-B display, for $399 !!!

Marty:
I'm using an iPad I w/ the Foreflight app in my RV-7A.
For flight planning it's a great asset and, in that role, I'm happy with the
iPad and Foreflight. For a non-computer type it's pretty user friendly.
In flight I'm less than thrilled with it. It's not terribly sunlight
readable, I've bought an expensive adhesive filter for it, which has helped
somewhat but, even with the filter and Koger shade, it can be hard to read
on a sunny day.
The other issue, a major one in my opinion, is it shuts down when the temp
is too high or too low. Last week, on a cross country flight it booted up
just fine before takeoff, we climbed to 4500', temp in the cockpit was no
more than 80F, it shut down with a message that max temp had been exceeded.
It had gotten heat soaked while on the ground. In winter (I'm based in
western Massachusetts) if it gets the least bit cold soaked, it will not
boot up. I have to go to ridiculous lengths to keep it warm before takeoff;
at +10F that takes some doing. I know there is circuitry that will run just
fine in hot and cold conditions - but I suppose it would cost Apple a few
extra $ off the bottom line - heaven forbid. (My Garmin 480, SL-30, audio
panel and transponder all work just fine at temps from +100F to -5F.
Regards,
Dan Bergeron

I was glad to see the availability of an AHRS with new version of WingX.
Gives me an affordable path to a replacement (sort of) for my Bluemountain
EFIS when it eventually dies.
I do like the nice resolution on charts in Foreflight though.
