REFLECTOR: Aircraft Covers II

[Terry Miles]

Oh, wow.  Thanks for point that out.  I figured you meant the windscreen. Do
you mean the back window and not the door window?  Are you guessing that
happened by the wind getting underneath the lower edge of the cover along
the strake area and just flapping it around a little?

Hi Terry


I did sew flannel over the insides of the seems. The problem was with the
side window. I'm sure the newer covers are much better.

Dave, one possible fix your seam over the windscreen is to do a lining of
satin sheeting material and/or a thin sheet of flannel sandwiched in there
too-I read that somewhere just this week.  Another point worth repeating on
this topic is, as Chuck pointed out, the cover can't get contaminated with
sand or stones, and the airplane itself has to be clean and preferably waxed
or any cover will upbraid the airplane surface.
