REFLECTOR: Of door seals and two bars

[Chuck Jensen]

Bob,

The pneumo seals would work great in flight...then I wouldn't have to wear my rain slicker, but the problem I was never able to overcome, which apparently Terry is struggling with, is keeping the doors sealed when setting outside in the rain.  After a heavy rain, it was always squish-squish.  Since I'm banished to purgatory (aka ramp)I broke down and bought the Velo cover.  With a couple mods it fits well, keeps the rain out and I don't have a pound of dirt on the windscreen. 

The other ideas you suggested work--they just require time and effort; always in short supply. 

Chuck

Bob Fields makes the parts for the pneumatic door seals. They really keep the noise and drafts out 100%

Hi Terry

Here are a couple of pics of my tow bar.  The handle is made from some 
different sizes of steel tubing that telescope, and two quick pins.  
The end that clamps to the nose fork is made from some steel strap, 2 
hinges, 2 short pieces of round tubing, a 5/16 bolt with the treads cut
 
off, and some stick-on felt.  I just place the jaws around the nose 
fork and slide the bolt through the 2 tubing pieces.  I also have a 
longer handle to replace the "T" handle.  It hooks to my tug (golf 
cart).  It works really well.
