We've had Bruce's Covers for three airplanes now. I like them because I can
put them on by myself in the wind.

I've got Bruce's extended canopy and wing covers. Good fit and definitely
do the job.
We're pleased with them.

Don't have any problems putting the Kennon on myself (well, on the plane without
assistance I mean).

Our Kennon cover also has the stiching giving out, but I'm not going to replace it
as the fabric is still quite good. Kennon offers a repair/refurbish program which
I'll get around to doing sooner or later.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I saw the text on their site about using the
local laundry to clean the stuff first and how they aren't responsible for
damage caused by the laundry. Then I saw a notice on a competitor's site about
the number of people who's covers got trashed in the laundry (IMO, obviously
talking about Kennon), so I have reservations about that program.

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

Our C-172 came with a cover that had these straps that went over the wings
and hooked onto the flaps. I hated those things! In a little wind I couldn't
get the straps over the wing. I can't remember the manufacturer of that
particular cover. We ordered a Bruce's which has straps only on the bottom
and Velcro every where else. A big improvement!

We've had covers made for both Luscombes. The Luscombes have skylights that
must be covered. Bruce's style makes these easy to put on (for a vertically
challenged individual like myself). My husband seldom uses his. He gets the
hangar :-(.

The 'canvas' needs special care. No big thing.

You can do it at home. Here are the instructions for caring for Sunbrella.

It's not so much the sumbrella that is the problem, but the various stitching and
trim that doesn't seem to hold up.

We took our Sumbrella Bimini to the local canvas shop and had it restitched
(just put another row of stitches over the old ones) after about 10 years

Well you got me there. I agree the stitching seems to go first. I would assume there are different grades of thread but darned if I
know how to tell who is using what and I wouldn't know the good stuff if it bit me anyway!

Really! Ten years, eh? Good to know.
