Thorpies,

My canopy cover is starting to succumb to UV and is falling apart. I looked at Bruce's custom covers, but the fitment in their pictures looked kinda lousy. Does anyone have any good leads/recommendations for someone who can make a tidying looking one? She's hangared nearly every night, but has also been spending a lot more time on the road this year. We're at about 100 hrs so far in 2021!

Nice! That’s hard to do.
I use Bruce’s cover and like it.

My Bruce’s cover fits well. I went for the extended front that cover the fuel filler door. The only downside is that it’s not waterproof. A piece of Saran Wrap across the canopy does the trick.
Custom color accents and your N # are a plus as well. N218TH

I bought my cover from Aero Covers. It is extended over the fuel cap and is water proof. I also covers the engine cooling exhaust openings on the side of the plane.

Regards,

Jim
