Leaning towards buying the Kennon cowl cover for my C170.

What do you guys like and prefer for cowl covers?

Which is easiest to use?

Do you like the bungee and ball straps?

Bill,
Sue just enlightened me with this web site. if you are interested we can make you a light weight engine cover to fit your plane.

We would need exact measurements of the front back of the cowling. We have a thick insulated engine pattern but not a light weight cover. If it does not work we would have not problem taking it back.

Low budget engine cover (moving blankets).

Skylane,

Try that rig outside with a breeze, or anywhere with temps below zero overnight.... If your conditions permit use of something like this, go for it.

But, what do you do when you fly somewhere, and stop for a few hours, where you have to park outdoors?

Those are conditions where a custom cover really pays off. If you're always flying at relatively warm temps, or never stop where there's no power or shelter, you probably don't need one.

Yeah, after keeping an eye on this thread, I'm going to put an engine cover on my wish list for 09. But for the most part, I really don't fly anywhere it's too cold and park for more than 2 hours right now. I wouldn't even think of using these blankets outside because the wind would just blow them off. But works well inside the non-heated hangar.
