 Posted: Mon May 02, 2011 8:34 pm Post subject: traveling covers, for really traveling |
 |
|
I will be towing my 10 quite a distance to have the paint done.
The plane will be on top of a flat bed trailer behind my F-250. I have mud flaps on the rear end of the truck and the plane's windscreen will be pretty high up away from the road.
Would it be wiser to leave the windscreen and windows coverred in the paint on plexiglass protector solution or do that in addition, purchase a cover like the Bruce's cover and cover it. Without seeing the covers, I am concerned that it will not fit tight enough and in the wind of 55mph will scratch the plexiglass while it flaps around.
Thoughts??
Thanks,
John

Personally I wouldn't use a cover on the highway.
Could do more damage than good if things start
buzzing, flapping, and part of it pops off.
I'd leave that protector gunk on the windshield
and just keep the speed down...maybe drive 45,
and just take it easy on the trip. You don't
say how many miles you're going, but, even if it's
50 miles, it would be smoother just to stay slower.

I duct taped a thick towel to the windsceen, in case a high-flying rock hit it.

I figured everything else would be fine, though.

I would be very careful to use some very heavy duty cardboard and
secure it with 3M metallic tape or duct tape. one rock could ruin your day
Good luck.
