Which do you like best? Why? Would you recommend full over the top or the one with snaps. This is just for trips, I have a hanger. Thanks in advance for your knowledge. Cheers…Rob

Rob,

I have used a couple of light weight wing covers on a couple of my planes, not sure of the manufacturer, but they kept the snow off well before I got a hanger.

A buddy of mine had Kennon wing, engine and cabin covers for his 182 and loved them. The wing covers had spoilers sewn in the top of the leading edge. Don't remember how the cabin cover hooked over the cabin.

Am Flight uses Kennon cowl covers on their Chieftens at least the one that flys into BNO and it will keep the engine warm after shut down even after 8 hours on the ground. Would not have believed that except for seeing it for myself. I'd like to get one, someday. Course I'd like to afford some gas too.

C ya, Bub

I highly recommend Cunningham covers ( http://www.cunninghamcovers.com ).

I have prop, cowl, cabin, wing, tail covers for my Beech Musketeer made by them and they all fit like a glove and easy & secure attachment system.

The plane lives outside 24/7/365 in Minnesota. With the full covers & Tanis super system engine heater I can fly in a 1/2 hour even if there is a foot of snow on the wings.

Personally I don't like Bruce's attachment system.

Hope this helps,

I had kenon covers for my cessna 120 the engine cover and windshield cover are excelent as mentioned the engine will stay warm for a long time. this is not only good for restarting but the slower your engine cools down the less condensation builds up. the kenon wing covers i was not impresed with at all they were fine with fluffy snow but hard frost frose the mesh solidly to the wings. they would freese so solid you would have to wate for the wings to warm up or risk damageing the fabric.

Cunningham's cowl cover is also very thick. Much thicker than a Tanis cover. It is reasonably easy to stuff in it's sack which is about the size of a large sleeping bag.

The Cunningham wing covers are nylon that fit like a glove. They don't freeze to the wings with freeze, thaw, freeze cycles.
