Also need some cowl plugs, any favourites to recommend?
(oops!)

Try Bruce’s Custom Covers [ aircraftcovers.com] They make Prop Covers too, and they’re a sponsor of the Cessna 150-152 Fly-In.

They are nice and do what they are supposed to do. They have flags attached to that say "remove before flight"

Used the legs from a $5 pair of kids sweatpants from Walmart. Turned them inside out, traced the prop onto it, sewed a seam to follow the tracing, and then turned them right side out. Done. And I can’t even sew. They fit snugly and the ankle elastic from the pants holds them in place. They seem to help. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/DGdzPTM/0-D28-F762-05-CF-4-FC3-A01-C-CFC7232010-C9.jpg)
