Canopy Covers that Stay Put

Fly-Away Covers offers form-fitting, lightweight travel canopy covers that are intended for short-term use and are great for day trips, cross-country excursions and fly-ins when space and weight are limited. They keep your windows clean, your cabin cool and the sun off of your cockpit, the company says. They are water repellent enough for a light mist or morning dew. Fly-Away covers also work well as a fitted dust cover when an airplane is hangared.

The covers weight 2 to 3 pounds and store easily in their own compact stuff sack. They are made from a polyester/spandex material, which is lightweight, reflective, soft and stretchy. The canopies are available in six types, and the “one size fits most” are categorized by high or low-wing, side-by-side or tandem seating configurations. The price is $175.

For more information, call 800/777-6405 or visit Fly-Away Covers.
