There is a guy at Stroudsberg (PA) airport (N35) who makes custom covers.
We just had him replace the cockpit cover on our Archer. Cost $185.50. You
make an appointment, fly in, and he makes the cover on the spot. This is
the third one that's been on the plane. The last one was good for five
years. He calls himself Airborne Aircraft Upholstery. I don't know if he
does wing covers, but I suspect he will if you ask him.

I am interested in finding out about other people's experiences with

these
covers.


I had Kennon covers on my Cessna 150 for about 5 years. They were still in

good
shape when I sold the plane. I bought Kennon covers for my Maule when I

got it
in 1995. I had to replace the bungee cords once, some of the velcro is

shot,
and the stitching is giving out. With winter coming on, I need to pick up

a new
set. Looks like it'll be Kennon again.

In my experience, Bruce's is a bit higher. They also don't make the

cowl-cap
type of nose cover that I prefer. I did buy a set of cowl plugs from Bruce

back
in '95, but the little flags were beating up the paint on my cowl, so I

cut
them off. Not too long after that, I tried to start the plane with the

plugs in.
That was pretty spectacular. One plug was thrown over 100' - we never did

find
it.

I also agree with Michelle's comments. Kennon fixes problems, even when

you're
the one that made the mistake.

If you're not part of the solution, you can make a lot of money

prolonging
the problem.
