Canopy/Cockpit/Fuselage Covers:
Bruce’s Custom Canopy Covers for the Cessna 190 & 195 provide full, custom-fit protection for the windshield, side, rear windows, and cabin roof, guarding against heat, moisture, leaks, dirt, and vandalism while helping keep cabin temperatures near ambient. Made from reflective, water- and UV-resistant Silver Acrylic Sunbrella with a soft microfiber lining, these breathable covers prevent scratching and allow moisture to escape. One-piece, over-the-top, and extended styles feature Velcro closures, adjustable padded quick-release belly straps, tightening straps, and shock-cord hems for a secure, tailored fit that accommodates antennas, probes, and wing root fairings. Covers are custom sewn to match aircraft contours and trim colors, include a storage duffle bag, and offer optional registration number imprinting, providing durable, long-lasting protection in all weather conditions.
Engine/Prop Covers:
Engine and Propeller Covers for the Cessna 190 & 195 provide full, precise protection for the engine and propeller in all weather conditions. Engine covers cinch around or behind the spinner, fully enclose the cowling and air inlets, fasten with Velcro beneath the spinner, and secure with an adjustable belly strap, with the option to attach to a canopy cover for a sealed fit. Standard covers are made from durable Solution-Dyed Polyester or Acrylic Sunbrella, while insulated versions feature a composite of solution-dyed polyester, 3M Thinsulate insulation, and soft nylon lining to retain heat after shutdown and support engine preheating in cold climates. Propeller covers are one-piece, form-fitting designs for blades and spinner, lined with soft microfiber, with optional insulated versions made from quilted, water-repellent, breathable materials. Both engine and prop covers are reflective, water-, ice-, and snow-repellent, UV-resistant, and breathable, ensuring long-lasting protection and minimizing wear while maintaining the aircraft’s finish.
Plugs and Protection:
Pitot Tube and Engine Inlet Plugs provide reliable protection for critical aircraft systems. Pitot covers, made from durable Naugahyde vinyl, fully enclose the pitot assembly and secure at the base with a Velcro strap, featuring a “Remove Before Flight” streamer for safety; an optional heat-resistant version prevents melting if pitot heat is accidentally activated, and tethered sets are available. Engine inlet plugs, also called cowl plugs, intake plugs, or engine blocks, are custom-fitted to the intakes with heavy-duty vinyl and sculpted urethane foam, including a zipper for foam removal and drying, as well as warning flags or “Remove Before Flight” streamers; registration number imprinting is optional, and the plugs can be installed shortly after flight while the engine is still warm.
Wing/Tail/Empennage Covers:
Bruce’s Custom Covers offers a full line of protective solutions for the Cessna 190 & 195’s wings and tail surfaces. Horizontal stabilizer covers shield the upper surfaces from sun, frost, snow, ice, corrosion, and hail, wrapping around leading and trailing edges and securing with adjustable straps, with optional cut-outs for static wicks. Made from durable Silver Acrylic Sunbrella for year-round use or lighter Solution-Dyed Polyester for seasonal protection, hail-resistant versions incorporate dense closed-cell foam for added impact protection. The one-piece empennage cover fully encloses both vertical and horizontal stabilizers and the tailboom, fastening with adjustable belly straps and a durable zipper, while accommodating antennas, beacons, and static wicks. Wing covers provide similar protection, form-fitting over the upper surfaces and wingtips, securing under the wing with adjustable straps and connecting at the belly; they can also be customized for wingtip modifications such as STOL kits, droop tips, or vortex generators, with hail-resistant foam options available for maximum durability. All materials are water- and UV-resistant, breathable, and designed to extend the life of the aircraft’s paint and control surfaces.
Heat Shields and Sun Reflectors:
Heatshields for the Cessna 190 & 195 are interior sunshades designed to reduce cockpit overheating by reflecting sunlight away from windows and the canopy. Constructed from a semi-rigid composite of closed-cell foam with a reflective silver Mylar finish, they stand securely against the windshield and skylight using sun visors or window framing. The heatshields fold flat for convenient storage in the included sleeve, and some designs may use Velcro, suction cups, or split panels for a proper fit. While ideal for short-term temperature control, external fabric covers provide more effective and long-term protection.
Light Weight Travel Covers:
Cessna 190 & 195 Travel Canopy Covers provide tailored protection for your aircraft, shielding the windshield, windows, and cabin from heat, moisture, leaks, dirt, and vandalism while helping maintain near-ambient cabin temperatures. These one-piece covers are custom-fitted for each model, accommodating antennas and temperature probes, and secure with Velcro closures, adjustable padded belly straps, and shock-cord hems for a snug fit. Constructed from reflective Silver Acrylic Sunbrella canvas with a soft microfiber lining, the covers are water-, ice-, and snow-repellent, UV-resistant, anti-static, and breathable to prevent moisture buildup, with optional registration number imprinting and a storage duffle bag included.
