Marty_d Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I want to get a weather proof cover for the 701 - mainly because the windscreen and top polycarbonate get very dusty where it's currently sitting. Just sent a request for quote to Punkin Head - are there any other suppliers you can recommend? Anyone made their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippydiesel Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) My last aircraft had a nice homemade job (just for the cockpit). New plane has an at home, all over job and a separate, lightweight reflective canopy only, for away trips. Both by Punkin head. Photo of Mk1 away cover - needed fixing/adjustment, which they did.

440032 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Punkin Head covers for the win. Unless she has a 701 nearby to examine, all she needs is some good paper templates, she should be able to advise how to make those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Yeah the quote was a bit high for me (not saying they're expensive, just that I'm cheap). I've ordered a car cover from Ebay and will set to work with scissors and the wife's sewing machine when it arrives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallowdeer Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Gidday Marty A couple of places over here make these for about $1200NZD. Heaps of nice features. Not sure if they have a pattern for a 701, this fits my S perfectly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_d Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 Hi Fallowdeer, In the end I decided to make one - I've made the plane so the cover shouldn't be impossible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
