What is everyone using for a travel cover, and do you like it?  I know there's the Van's lightweight one, Flightline has one, and I've heard of Bruce's.  Will probably also get some cowl inlet plugs as well.

   

 Thanks...

Used Bruce's on my RV-4 for years, loved it.  Bought one fir my RV-10, but haven't used it yet.

I am using the Flightline Interiors cover and am very happy with it. I got cowl plugs from Van's and they are fine, as well.

I've only tried 3.  The Bruce's that I've tried were the

full thick cover.  To me, they're way too big to travel

with but they're excellent covers to use if you wanted

something for longer term storage.  If they make a

travel cover I'm not familiar with it.  I've tried

the Cleaveland one, which was too thin and simple for

my taste....it was not much in the line of protection.

I own the Flightline one. I like that it's small, light,

packs well, and has a dark inside and light outside color.

It's amazing that in the hot sun, the inside of the

plane is dark and kept cool, and it is thick enough to

provide some good sun and other protection, yet

thin enough to travel with.  She also sells cowl plugs,

so you can get those at the same time and save shipping.

Thanks, guys... I keep thinking about Dave Saylor's rear windows, so hoping it'll keep the temps down, especially since it's not painted yet.
