I ordered a light weight canopy cover a few days ago, from Bruce's, for my -4, and just wanted to get some opinions on light travel cover vs normal canopy cover. Talking with their staff, it didn't sound like a lot of difference between them. Mainly a little over a lb. How do pilots using light weight covers like them? Do you find them farely water repellent? Is there any benefit to ordering the heavier weight vs light weight? The order has only been started so it could still be changed.
I have a nice fitted dust cover for my hangar storage, but it ripped the other day. Plus last yr leaving AirVenture I made it less than 50 miles before having an electrical problem from rain killing my intercom. This ended up causing the whole system to go nutz!! Took my intercom out (from the top of my panel) and literally poured out water. Drove back to AirVenture and bought a new one. Problem solved.
My main concern is keeping as much moisture out as possible. Many of you know ,the rv-4 can pose challenging in doing this. One more thing, I ordered one with a 15" fwd extension. I'm sure other manufacturers are great, but I chose Bruce's and am sticking with them. I'm just curious about pireps with their products.
Thanks John
