I remember many cold mornings taking off a "frozen" snowmobile cover, and having it come off like a shell, You had to remove the fabric cover VERY carefully or you could tear it. I'm wondering, are all your covers water proof, Mike?

They look like great protection, and will definately keep off all that road dust you get. It'll be interesting to hear how your cover system works with the whole melting and freezing process.


Kyle, so far, when taking them off on a frozen morning (20F) they seemed to come off pretty easily, though I do go slowly as not to tear the fabric.

Time will tell, of course, but so far so good for this winter. I have a smaller travel cockpit cover I can use on X-C's if need be, but not as robust.

A friend of mine on our field just had an undetected leak get so bad the water pooled around his transponder and fried it. Apparently, the small holes on the bottom of the fuselage clogged and the water collected.

As we got to talking, we realized this could have been more serious - think about several gallons of water back there...the implications for CG shifting are alarming. MM
