Looking to buy a fitted thermal cover for the 185. Kennon doesn't make them anymore, and Bruce's is expensive. Anyone have experience with Mac's ( https://www.airplane-covers.com/cowlingblanket.htm)? I know people use horse blankets, but that's not what I'm asking about. I still have the famous Teddy Grahams comforter for use in the hangar.

Darn it I'm sure their is a full frontal cover in the crate with your ski's...... You should not need to buy one. You mean one to go traveling with you, don't you? Yes. Just something to keep it warm on the ramp while I eat lunch. I need to get down there and take care of the ski situation.

I have AeroCover Engine & wing covers .I find them very effect down at -20c They fit excellence and have large clips which function with out having to remove your gloves. At the cold and windy temps you don't really want to be messing with fit and function. ( $650 cdn is only $500 usd )
( This is in Lake Placid NY last year.)

Are you putting them on this year ? I haven’t actually seen them, so I’m not sure what they are. They’re hydraulic and some 35 years old is about all I can say for sure. I also know they require smaller tires, so that’s an added expense of mounting them this year. I might put them on if I can find someone who knows how and has the proper equipment.

Probably Fluyidine 3200 or 3600, check the plates on them. Username Protected wrote: HI Stuart,
