I bought from
Airplane Covers [
airplane-covers.com]. Mine is the one that covers the wings out past the fuel caps. It was about half the price of Bruces 3 years ago. I think two of them would certainly outlast one of Bruces. I've seen both here at my airport.
It is well made and fits great. He even customized it to fit properly over the Horton STOL for no extra charge.
I only have had one problem; the bungie cords which go under the wing and hook to the part that is down under the leading edge failed from the sun where they were sewn onto the trailing edge. He offered to repair them for me which I chose to do myself saving time and packaging to return. I think he has redesigned that attachment and should not be a problem now.
He was easy to contact and responded promptly.
Ray, thanks for that endorsement....I am working up a matrix to compare the leading 3-4 sellers recommeneded by the club members and will decide in the near future. This is one of those times I am in no rush and actually HAVE the money ready.
Your point about "being able to buy two" for the price of a single set from Bruces is compelling.
Ray, has Airplane Covers gone to straps vs. bungees now? I really do not want the bungee system for all the reasons you already outlined. I guess I can call him to find out, but was just wondering what the long-term fix is as several folks here have complained about the bungee system giving out.
BTW, I do already own the insulated cowl cover and a summer-weight cockpit cover from this dealer.
Thanks Ray. MM
