    Subject: Re: Canopy cover
    I also have a Bruce's canopy cover and it fits well and looks good. On the web page it says it is "nylon Silver Laminate" not sunbrella acrylic. I have noticed that when it is hot the cover shrinks and when cold it become loose. Not only is it great for keeping the sun out but it is also great for keeping the interior dry even if your doors leak. At one time they or another company offered very light weight ripstop nylon travel covers.

See here: http://www.aircraftcovers.com/index.php?cPath=1_5_385_386&tplDir=fallback I have the canopy and engine cover.

    I would just get the canopy cover. That&#39;s a good point about weight and bulk though. I&#39;ll have to ask about that. Hopefully the canopy only cover is manageable. Scott

    Subject: Re: Canopy cover
    When I talked to the rep at Sun-N-Fun he said they can now make them in either nylon silver laminate or sunbrella whichever the customer want and pays for. I did not ask the price difference. I have experienced the same shrinking/loosening with mine as Mark has. Overall I am pleased with the cover.

    I heard somewhere (wan't remember where) that carbon fiber and aluminum react to each other. Can anyone confirm/deny this? If so, does carbon fiber react to other metals (steel, stainless, brass etc) too? Galin

    Subject: Re: Canopy cover
    5/8/2011 Hello Al, You wrote: "Why cover the cowling?" One reason is birds nesting. In a 24 hour period they can make a mess of nesting material and bird crap inside the engine cowling that can take hours to remove. Also some of the bird crap can be very corrosive depending upon where it is located on the engine or accessories.** If birds nesting is the problem that you are trying to solve by using an over the engine cowling cover then blocking off bird access through cooling air exit openings is also required. Also blowing sand can be another reason to seal off the engine cooling air inlets. 'OC' Baker Says: "The best investment we can make is the time and effort to gather and understand knowledge." **PS: An alternative to using the combined canopy and engine cowling cloth cover to is to use blockage of the cooling air inlets and outlets cut from plastic foam blocks. Don't forget the most handy standby -- blue painter's masking tape. A two inch wide roll of this tape is an essential part of my cross country kit -- can be used for everything from sealing rain water out of door hinges and cracks to control stoppage. Very light weight and very adaptable for many purposes (including taping irritating passenger's mouth shut). ============= From: ALFRED ROSA To: kis-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2011 10:44 AM Subject: Re: KIS-List: Canopy cover I don't understand the need for an engine cover.
