Dear Thread Friends, after leaving my XL at a strange airport overnite this last weekend I am concerned as to security. I have no lock for the canopy. Anybody install a security lock on the tilt forward canopy ? Hope to hear from you guys, Best regards, Bill

Bill,

I purchased a canopy cover that has two straps that go under the belly.

I believe that besides being an advantage for the canopy material, you

might

deter curiosity or theft by not allowing easy view of the interior of

your plane.

Larry, that is a really good idea. Do recall where you bought it and which

model fit the XL. Right now I use an old Bart Simpson bed sheet of my son's from

15 years ago to cover the canopy to avoid dust and bird crap. Thanks, Bill

Bill,

The canopy cover is from Bruce's Custom Covers, 989 E California Avenue, 

Sunnyvale, CA 94085.

The Tech Sheet describes it as ZENITH MODEL 601  Seen at 

www.bruce(at)aircraftcovers.com

Price was $350, but worth it.  It comes with your N-number on each side 

so that it too doesn't get legs.

It is a nice fit and comes with a tote bag for stowage.

I can definately recommend Bruce's Covers. They do excellent work and the cover fits snug, like it should.

Zenith has a locking door handle option. It looks like a garage door handle but it looks like it will do the job. I purchased one but don't have it installed yet. The cost was 38.49 including shipping. There are several parts to it but the main number is 1226A62. It is shown in the latest Photo assembly Guides for the canopy.

I worked with Keenan Sunscreens several years ago.  They have the

pattern and can make a canopy cover for the 601s.  Mine came out great;

even satin lined to keep from scratching the lexan.  Just another

option.
