Canopy/Cockpit/Fuselage Covers:
Mooney Eagle Canopy Covers from Bruce’s Custom Covers are custom-designed to protect the windshield, side windows, and canopy from excessive heat, moisture, dirt, and UV damage while helping prevent vandalism and theft. Made from reflective Silver Acrylic Sunbrella canvas and fully lined with soft microfiber, these covers are water-, UV-, ice-, and snow-resistant yet breathable to prevent trapped moisture, with a reflective surface proven to reduce cabin temperatures on hot days. They attach securely with adjustable belly straps, quick-release buckles, and shock-cord hems for a precise fit, are trimmed to match aircraft colors, include a storage duffle bag, and can be customized with an imprinted registration number. Extended Canopy and Canopy/Engine Cover options provide additional protection by enclosing the engine cowl and extending to the wing roots and doors, creating a complete coverage solution for long-term aircraft protection.
Engine/Prop Covers:
Engine and Propeller Covers from Bruce’s Custom Covers provide complete protection for the engine cowl and propeller against weather, debris, and temperature extremes. Engine Covers cinch around or behind the spinner, enclose the entire engine cowl including air cooling and induction inlets, and secure with Velcro fastenings and a belly strap for a snug fit, with optional attachment to the Canopy Cover. They are made from durable Solution-Dyed Polyester or Acrylic Sunbrella, with insulated versions available using a composite of solution-dyed polyester, 3M Thinsulate insulation, and soft nylon lining to retain heat and support engine preheating in cold climates; an insulated hangar blanket option is also available for additional winter protection. Propeller Covers feature a one-piece, form-fitting design that slips over blades and spinner, fastening with an all-weather zipper, and are constructed from Acrylic Sunbrella or Solution-Dyed Polyester with a soft microfiber lining, while insulated versions provide quilted, water-repellent, breathable protection to help maintain engine warmth and prevent wear in cold-weather conditions.
Plugs and Protection:
Pitot Tube Covers and Engine Inlet Plugs provide essential protection against debris, moisture, and weather exposure while the aircraft is on the ground. Standard Pitot Tube Covers are made from durable Naugahyde vinyl and slip over the pitot tube, tightening securely at the base with a Velcro strap and featuring a bright “Remove Before Flight” streamer for safety; heat-resistant versions are available as an upgrade to prevent melting if pitot heat is accidentally activated, with optional tethering upon request. Custom-fit Engine Inlet Plugs are constructed from heavy-duty vinyl and filled with sculpted urethane foam to create a tight seal in the intakes, featuring zippered removable foam for drying, highly visible warning flags or “Remove Before Flight” streamers, and optional aircraft registration imprinting, offering reliable engine protection during storage or downtime.
Wing/Tail/Empennage Covers:
These custom-fit tail and wing covers protect aircraft surfaces from sun damage, moisture, frost, and environmental wear while helping preserve paint and control components. The covers wrap securely around stabilizers, wings, and tail sections, fastening with adjustable straps and zippers to ensure a snug fit around antennas, static wicks, and wing modifications. Optional hail-protection padding adds impact resistance, while material choices allow for either lightweight seasonal use or durable all-weather coverage for long-term outdoor protection.
Heat Shields and Sun Reflectors:
Heatshields are interior sunshades designed to reduce cockpit heat by reflecting sunlight away from window and canopy glass. Made from a composite of closed-cell foam with a reflective silver mylar finish, the semi-rigid panels hold their shape inside the windshield using sun visors or window framing, with some designs incorporating Velcro or suction cups for added security. They fold flat for easy storage in the included sleeve and provide a simple, effective short-term solution for minimizing cockpit heat buildup.
Light Weight Travel Covers:
The Lightweight Travel Canopy Cover provides the same coverage as a standard canopy cover but uses ultra-light materials that fold into a much smaller package for convenient storage. Made from Silver Solution-Dyed Polyester and lined only over the windshield to reduce weight, it offers water resistance and easy stowage, making it ideal for aircraft kept in hangars that only need occasional exterior protection. For frequent outdoor use, a heavier-duty Sunbrella cover is recommended, while an ultra-light option is also available for hangar dust protection.
