Canopy/Cockpit/Fuselage Covers:
The Beech Skipper B77 Canopy Cover is a custom-fit aircraft protection solution designed to shield the windshield, side windows, and canopy roof from heat, moisture, UV damage, and potential vandalism, helping preserve upholstery and avionics while keeping window surfaces clean. Tailored to each aircraft’s antenna and probe placements, it secures with adjustable belly straps, quick-release buckles, and shock cord in the hem for a snug fit. Made from reflective, water-resistant Silver Acrylic Sunbrella canvas and fully lined with soft microfiber to prevent scratches, the cover reduces cabin temperatures to near-ambient levels while remaining breathable to release trapped moisture. Each cover is custom sewn with color-matched trim, optional registration number imprinting, and includes a duffle bag, with an Extended Canopy Cover option available to provide additional coverage down to the wing root for full aircraft protection compatibility.
Engine/Prop Covers:
Engine Covers are designed to cinch securely around or behind the spinner, fully enclosing the engine cowling, air cooling, and induction inlets, and fastening with Velcro beneath the spinner and a belly strap aft of the firewall, with the option to attach directly to the Canopy Cover. Available in Solution-Dyed Polyester or Acrylic Sunbrella, it also comes in an insulated version made from a composite of solution-dyed polyester, 3M Thinsulate insulation, and soft nylon lining to retain heat and enhance engine preheating in cold climates, helping reduce engine wear. For hangar use, the Insulated Hangar Blanket offers an economical solution for winter protection when paired with a heating device. The Beech Skipper B77 Propeller Cover features a one-piece, form-fitting design that slips over the blades and spinner, secures with an all-weather zipper, and is available for various blade configurations and materials. Prop covers are offered in standard or insulated versions and are constructed from durable, water-resistant, UV-protected Silver Acrylic Sunbrella or Solution-Dyed Polyester with a soft microfiber lining to prevent scratches, providing reflective, breathable protection in both hot and cold conditions.
Plugs and Protection:
Beech Skipper B77 Pitot Tube Covers (non-heat resistant type) are made from durable Naugahyde vinyl and are designed to fully enclose the pitot assembly, slipping over the tube and securing tightly at the base with a Velcro strap, complete with an attached “Remove Before Flight” streamer for visibility. An optional heat-resistant upgrade helps prevent melting if pitot heat is accidentally activated while the cover is installed, and tethered sets are available upon request. Custom-fit Engine Inlet Plugs are constructed from heavy-duty vinyl and filled with a sculpted urethane foam block to seal the intakes, with a zipper for foam removal and drying when needed. Each plug includes visible warning flags or “Remove Before Flight” streamers, optional aircraft registration number imprinting, and can be installed while the engine is still warm, providing reliable protection against debris and moisture.
Wing/Tail/Empennage Covers:
Horizontal Stabilizer Covers, Empennage Covers, and Wing Covers provide comprehensive protection against sun damage, frost, snow, ice buildup, corrosion, and even hail. Made from either durable Silver Acrylic Sunbrella for all-year use or lighter Solution-Dyed Polyester for seasonal winter protection, these custom-fit covers shield upper surfaces while wrapping around leading and trailing edges for secure coverage. Horizontal Stabilizer and Wing Covers fasten underneath with adjustable straps and can include cut-outs for static wicks or modifications such as STOL kits, droop tips, and vortex generators, while optional hail protection versions incorporate dense closed-cell foam for added impact resistance. The Empennage Cover offers full tail protection in a one-piece design that encloses the vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizers, and tailboom, securing with straps and all-weather zippers while accommodating antennas and other components. Together, these covers deliver reliable, breathable, and weather-resistant protection tailored specifically to the Beech Skipper B77 for both winter and year-round storage needs.
Heat Shields and Sun Reflectors:
Heatshields and Windshield Heatshields are interior sunshades designed to reduce cockpit overheating by blocking solar heat through the aircraft’s windows and front windshield. Constructed from a semi-rigid closed-cell foam core with a reflective silver Mylar finish, they are firm enough to stand in place using sun visors or window framing, with some models utilizing Velcro, suction cups, or split right and left sections for a secure fit. Lightweight and foldable, each Heatshield stores flat in an included sleeve for easy transport and convenience, making it an effective short-term solution for heat reduction, while external fabric covers remain the preferred option for long-term aircraft protection.
Light Weight Travel Covers:
The Lightweight Travel Canopy Cover for the Beech Skipper B77 provides the same windshield, window, and canopy roof coverage as the standard canopy cover but is crafted from lightweight Silver Solution-Dyed Polyester for compact storage and easy transport. Designed primarily for aircraft stored full-time in a hangar, this travel cover is ideal for occasional outdoor use and folds into a much smaller space for convenient stowage onboard. To reduce weight, the interior lining is applied only over the windshield area, while the water-resistant polyester fabric offers short-term weather protection. For daily outdoor exposure, a heavier Sunbrella canopy cover is recommended, and an ultra-lightweight material option is also available for fitted hangar dust covers.
