Would someone with experience in using both the heavy canopy cover and the 

light cover like to comment on their performance.



I am considering the Canopy Cover RV-9/9A (continuous duty) at $335 and the 

Canopy Cover LW-6EXT (Light Weight}at $185.  Cost is not the issue.  My 

impression is that the the heay cover is designed to protect parked 

airplanes and the light weight models are designed for travel.  I plan to do 

a lot of cross-country flying 12 months per year. This includes exposure to 

snow and ice, desert sun, etc., a couple of weeks at a time.  The light 

weight cover may not measure up to the heavy duty use, but is the 

"continuous duty" cover too heavy and too bulky for travelling   - perhaps 

50% of all flight hours.  Will the Light Weight travel cover self-destruct 

with winter trips in the north-east and Canada.



I would appreciate any experience or insight.  Ernest Kells - RV/9A (testing 

electricals / preparing for the final inspecton)

I would personally never use a canopy cover for extended periods of time.  Over night maybe, as long as you aren't in a dusty environment.  Any dirt under the cover and when the wind blows, and all of a sudden you have microscratches all over your canopy.  I would consider an internal cover of some sort, not an external one.
