Has anybody seen or made a cover for your Piet, the kind that wraps over the wing center section and takes in the entire cockpit area with straps under the belly? Corky provided cockpit covers for the two individual cockpits on 41CC but when you park the airplane at a fly-in or other place away from your home base, the cover that takes in the whole cockpit area would be nice. It would also swallow up the fuel filler on 41CC (just ahead of the forward windscreen), which would prevent rain from getting into it in a shower. I thought of this when I saw the pictures from the t'storms at Oshkosh and I've seen the covers made of an aluminized reflective outer material with a soft tricot inner lining.Just wondering if anybody has tried it. Seems like it would be easy enough to make a pattern and sew one up.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:59:15 -0400
