Hi Tim, i need to check on whether CASA RaAus require it so... whether its aesthetically
pleasing to the eye is subjective as an individual perspective and needs
to be put aside. My issue regards the design logic driving the modification
being preventing the latch from action as opposed to ensuring success of the
latch action; one method is 100% guaranteed while the other is not. Its just
not a well thought out or executed solution to the issue at hand.
The europa is a hallmark of efficient safe design; this solution as is is not efficient
or safe.
As a group we can do better than this...

Ron,
Apologies for the delay in replying to this. Here are some pictures. As you can
see, the cover easily fits inside a ZipLock Freezer Gallon bag. It is very small
when folded with the straps taking a good portion of the storage space.
The cover fits really well. I wish it covered the intake air scoop but it doesn't.
the story with this cover is that I got it at a hangar sale. It was allegedly made
for an RV-6 but I have no way to confirm since it has no markings. In fact,
I am not sure who made it. Generally the good brand cover makers (Kennon, Bruce)
have some identifying labels. This one doesn't. The quality is descent but
again not sure were it came from. I really don't think it is from Bruce or Kennon
as their covers are considerably sturdier.
I did an internet search for RV-6 covers and found this photo in which the cover
looks very similar to mine:

I per some reading and looking at pictures I suspect it is made by Cleveland Aircraft
Tools. Apparently the early ones didn't have the logo in them. Maybe you
can call them and ask them for better pictures or to try to identify this one.

Too bad is so hard to identify. It's certainly not a long term use cover but it's
so small and light I just have it in the airplane all the time in case it has
to spend a night or two away from home.
Best,
Chris

Hi Chris Thank you for posting pics. I have an Airmaster / Warp Drive prop, not
the worst idea to cover top blade and spinner in the rain.
Could sew up a cover that covered spinner / top blade and front of cowl and went
back as far as yours? Would use Silicone impregnated fabric, only problem is
if you walk on it, it's as slippery as banana peels! Ron

RonBruce coverings make two Europa covers; one light weight for occasional use,
and the other of heavier weight for seasonal useI have the heavier weight one
but do not know off hand what it weighs; its very nicely made w/ good straps
etc. You would need something in addition to deal with your Airmaster and I believe
youre correct in anticipating that keeping the rain and moisture out of
the hub would be a good thing to do.
Check out Bruces webpage,
