Canopy covers help reduce damage to your airplane's upholstery and avionics caused by excessive heat, and they can eliminate problems caused by leaky door and window seals. They keep the windshield and window surfaces clean and help prevent vandalism and theft.

The Jabiru Canopy Cover is custom designed and fit for each aircraft make and model as well as your aircraft's specific antenna and temperature probe placements. The Canopy Cover is designed to enclose the windshield, side and rear window area (other designs are available). The Canopy Cover is a one-piece design, which wraps around the canopy and closes with Velcro behind the pilot's side door. The Velcro closure allows entry to the airplane without removing the entire cover. The Canopy Cover also attaches by two belly straps, one under the cowling and one under the tailboom, and two snaps above the windshield. Two existing screws along the leading edge wing root fairing are replaced by the snap-head screws that we provide (all you need is a phillips head screwdriver for the initial install). These screws eliminate having to install straps to the trailing edge of the wing that will bang up the top of the wing on a gusty day. Belly straps are adjustable and detachable from either side with heavy-duty, quick release, three-pronged male/female plastic buckles; these buckles are backed to prevent scratching. To insure the most secure fit, high quality shock cord is enclosed in the hem of the cover. This chord is also adjustable for tightness.

Some Canopy covers also provide the snap-on type design which uses snaps along the belly instead of belly straps. Over-the-top designs are available as well that extend over the top of the cabin area to protect skylights and/or serious leaks in the wing root or headliner. An Extended Canopy Cover is also available and extends down to the main wheel struts to cover more paint.

Each canopy cover is custom sewn and the corners are trimmed to match the colors of the airplane. The airplane's registration number can be imprinted onto both sides of the cover for an additional charge. A duffle bag is included with all canopy covers and can be customized with your registration number and/or logo for an additional charge. Each canopy cover is made of nylon Silver Laminate and is lined 100% with Micro-fiber. Bruce's Custom Covers developed Silver Laminate especially for aircraft protection. The outer material is a medium weight nylon treated for ultraviolet resistance and anti-static buildup. The inner lining is a Micro-fiber to prevent scratching. Silver Laminate is extremely reflective. Tests show that the cabin interior temperature can be reduced by as much as 25 degrees F. It is water, ice and snow repellent, yet breathable enough to allow moisture to escape from between the cover and the windshield surface. Silver Laminate does not contain hydrocarbon compounds that can harm plexiglass windshields and acrylic finishes.

Canopy/Engine Cover Is a one-piece cover (100% lined with Micro-fiber), that is a combination of the Canopy Cover and Engine Cover. This cover will enclose the engine cowl and will extend aft to cover all of the windows.

The Engine Cover/Insulated Engine Cover will synch around or behind the spinner, cover the entire engine cowling area including the engine air cooling and carburetor air inlets, and fastens together with velcro beneath the spinner down the front of the cowling. The Engine Cover is attached with a belly strap aft of the firewall, and can velcro to the Canopy Cover. An Insulated version of the engine cover can be made with a thicker quilted water repellent and breathable material that is insulated with Hollofil. The Insulated Engine Cover works well in cold climates to help reduce engine pre-heating times.

Engine Inlet Plugs are custom-fit for your intakes, sewn of heavy duty vinyl material, and stuffed with a single block of urethane foam. Each plug has a zipper that allows the foam to be removed and dried if necessary. Engine plugs have warning flags that are visible from the cockpit or 'remove before flight' streamers sewn onto the face of the plugs. Most plugs are embroidered with the aircraft registration number, done in black, about 1" high. Engine plugs may be inserted after flight when the engine is still warm.

The Propellor Cover - Insulated Propellor Cover Is made of Silver Laminate (lined 100% with Micro-fiber), like the canopy and engine covers. It is a one-piece design that form fits to the blades and spinner. The cover slips over the blades and spinner and is attached by a zipper on the bottom. Propellor covers can be made for multiple numbers of blades, for wooden, composite or metal props. An Insulated version can be made with a thicker, quilted water repellent and breathable material that is insulated with Hollofil. The Insulated Propellor Cover works well in cold climates to help reduce engine pre-heating times.

Wing Covers with/without Hail Protection are a perfect solution to protect your paint and prevent frost and icing. They are made of medium weight nylon and form-fit to slip around each wing tip, cover the entire upper surface of the wing and wrap around the leading and trailing edges. The covers secure under the wing along the chord of the wing with adjustable straps. The wing covers also attach to each other in between the wingspan with adjustable straps. Therefore the wing covers secure laterally and along the chord of the wing for maximum protection. A small mesh cutout along the bottom wing tip allows any excess water to drain out so that the cover bottom wont sag. In some instances, cut-outs can be made in the trailing edge of the wing covers to accommodate static wicks. We have the ability to also accommodate wing tip modifications, such as STOL kits, etc. Wing covers are labeled LEFT and RIGHT for your convenience. A Hail Protection version can be made in which we sew a very dense closed cell foam into the entire upper surface of the wing covers to prevent hail damage. Although these covers are very bulky, they protect your control surfaces against small to medium size hail. Horizontal Stabilizer Covers with/without Hail Protection are a perfect solution to protect your paint and prevent frost and icing. They cover the entire upper surface of the stabilizers and overlap around the leading and trailing edges as well as the wing tip. The covers secure under each stabilizer with adjustable straps. A Hail Protection version can be made in which we sew a very dense closed cell foam into the entire upper surface of the stabilizer covers to prevent hail damage.

The Empennage Cover is a one-piece cover made of medium weight nylon. It covers the vertical and horizontal stabilizers, as well as the tailboom area aft of the Canopy Cover. The cover attaches with Velcro to the aft edge of the Canopy Cover, and with adjustable straps underneath the belly. The cover is pulled back over the vertical stabilizer and a zipper is closed at the trailing edge of the rudder. The cover is then stretched over the elevators and zippered closed along the bottom elevator surfaces. There are also some adjustable straps under the elevators. All antennas, beacons and static wicks, if applicable, are accounted for. Pitot Covers are made of a type of heavy-duty Naugahyde vinyl that is form-fit to each style of Pitot tube and includes a 'remove before flight' streamer, generally sewn onto the leading edge of the cover. In most cases each Pitot cover is custom made to slip onto the pitot tube and stay in place without snaps or Velcro. The Travel-Cover is a custom-fit light weight travel Canopy cover intended for limited use during trips away from home when space and weight are restricted. At less than half the weight of the standard design, this polyester/spandex material is lightweight, reflective, and stretchy. Travel Covers will only shed a light mist or morning dew. Travel-Covers are not intended for extended or permanent use outdoors. Also can be used as a fitted dust cover!
