Default Pitot tube cover for Dynon pitot

Anyone know of a pitot cover that fits the Dynon pitot? Bonus points if you actually like the cover. The first one I ordered didn't fit, so I thought it'd be better to ask here before trying another. Thanks...

-Rob

I am using one from ACS that is simple, covers the entire tube with the velcro in the back to keep it in place. It has been working fine but with a quick glance at their site, did not find it to send you a link.

Default Safeair

Hi Rob,
I went with Safeair's. It is well built light weight and I think made for the RV series.
If you google "safe air pitot mast" you'll find it. Can't report any issues with the installation but I'm not flying yet.

Help this will help you
Have a good day

It is not but very similar (red) and just like this covers the entire tube.

Take a look at this one on ebay, it is very similar to mine if not identical.

Also, I can't see why the one from ACS wouldn't work. I bought mine at least a couple of years ago so it may have been discontinued or change color.
