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.

Hello Scott, Bruce's has both canopy cover only and combined
canopy and engine cover. See here:
http://www.aircraftcovers.com/index.php?cPath=1_5_385_386&tplDir=fallback
I have the canopy and engine cover. If I take it with me in
the airplane on a cross country flight there is no room / weight available for
any other baggage.

KIS?
Thanks,

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

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?

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

**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).
