Does anyone have experience with wing covers? I had to get a bunch of ice off my wings yesterday and was wondering if wing covers would save me some time and aggrevation.

Where could a guy buy a set of these?

Thanks Jason

Hi Jason, I posted a similar question under the heading WINTER FLYING. Take a look at the responses there.

Thanks for the link.

I will check out all the all the links about the covers.

It's been my opinion, if the aiplane sits outside, covers were a must. They can be a pain to wrestle on, but it beats waiting until noon to go flying. Especially when it gets dark at 5pm!

Yeah your not kidding, i was out yesterday and finally got airborn at 2 and was on the ground in almost darkness at 4:08. i hate winters.

Does anyone have any covers for sale? or covers from another aircraft that i could modify? thanks

Go to aeroalaska.com last week someone had Citabria wing,tail and aircraft covers for sale, for a couple hundred bucks.

Might check out Kennon's "Discount Hangar."

Maybe PA28 wing covers could work?

3000 pieces? Are you kidding, Nate? There are 3000 PK screws in the old girl and another 3000 (6000 total)assorted parts. It is very fun and challenging though.

HAHA

Better?

Well, you may have been right the first time. I put 6000 in mine, but seem to have @ 3000 left over.
Wish that were dollars instead of pieces.

Thanks for the tip Mac, i looked at the ad and purchased them from the owner. I appreciate everyones help.
