Carl, I have been using the cover from Flightline Interiors for about three years now. It is lightweight, tough, and is holding up very nicely.

Recommendations between these two or perhaps other choices?
Thanks,

I have a Flight Line Interiors cover. Lightweight and quality construction.

I have a Bruce's Custom Cover. I would not say it is the lightest, but it didn't let one drop of rain in the huge downpour at Oshkosh.
I had a similar one on my RV-4 and liked it so much I bought one for my RV-10.

You can get a 10% discount from Bruce's covers by using a code from the rvairspace.com forum.
I've been very happy with their products.

I have a Flightline and I love it. I forgot it on a trip and borrowed the cleveland and that cover was miserable. I would definitely not get that one. You will like the Flightline one though, IMHO it's ideal.

It's definitely not a "Travel" cover though....those things are at least 3X the size to pack and probably more than 3x the weight. They are nice, but if I had to travel with it, I'd never bring it....I never have that much space left for a huge cover.

Carl,
I ordered the cover from Cleaveland Tool, it works great and has held up well over the past 6 years, including 6 months in full-time exposure while I was waiting for a hangar. It wads up nice and small and is very light, keeps the water off extremely well.

Tim, although I almost always agree with you... but I think you should have said "when I travel with 4 in the plane".... because with only 2 traveling, there's always plenty of room for the cover.

Yes, but my back always hurts after we put it on your plane!!
The way to look at the difference is that Bruces covers are much more durable and good for someone who leaves their planes out a lot on trips. Don, you qualify in this regard, but for someone who needs it for a couple a days at a time the lightweight from flight line is a great option, light and does an excellent job.
There is also a lightweight version from Bruce's that is designed for a hangar and is NOT water resistant or designed for outdoor use.

I have Abby's, carried it on a few long trips and have not used it yet. Hangared on one trip. When should I use it? I have been worried about trapping dirt beneath with wind and scratching plexi. I do have a few water leaks around door hinge screws that I need to seal up. Do most of you install it for security/sun fading/water leaks/cabin cooler??

I use mine all the time for sun/heat protection. It is really amazing to me how dark and cool the interior is with that cover on.
I use it all week at OSH and most nights when traveling. Probably 25-30 days this year so far. As long as you aren't in a dust storm dirt isn't a big issue. I do clean my windows if possible before covering it up.
