Canopy/Cockpit/Fuselage Covers:
Canopy Covers for the Piper PA-18 Super Cub are custom-designed to protect the windshield, side, and rear windows, as well as the cabin roof, wing root fairings, and overall fuselage from heat, weather, leaks, and vandalism. The Over-The-Top one-piece design wraps securely around the canopy and fastens with Velcro behind both pilot and copilot doors, allowing entry without full removal, while adjustable belly straps, side tightening straps, integrated shock cord, and padded quick-release buckles ensure a snug, secure fit. Made from reflective Silver Acrylic Sunbrella canvas and fully lined with soft microfiber, these covers are water, ice, and snow repellent, UV and static resistant, breathable to prevent moisture buildup, gentle on painted surfaces, and help reduce cabin temperatures to near-ambient levels. Custom sewn with color-matched corners, optional registration number imprinting, and including a duffle bag, these covers provide durable, all-weather protection for the Super Cub, with specialized versions available for extended coverage and windshield/skylight protection.
Engine/Prop Covers:
Engine and Propeller Covers for the Piper PA-18 Super Cub provide full protection for the engine, spinner, and blades, supporting cold-weather preheating and reducing wear. Engine covers cinch around or behind the spinner, fully enclose the engine cowl and air inlets, fasten with Velcro, and secure with a belly strap aft of the firewall, with optional attachment to the canopy cover. Standard covers are made from durable Solution-Dyed Polyester or Acrylic Sunbrella, while insulated versions use a quilted, water-repellent composite with 3M Thinsulate insulation and soft nylon lining to retain heat after shutdown, with optional access flaps. Matching one-piece propeller covers slip over blades and spinner, attach with an all-weather zipper, and feature soft microfiber lining, with insulated versions providing additional thermal protection. Both engine and prop covers are crafted from reflective Silver Acrylic Sunbrella, water, ice, and snow repellent, UV and static resistant, breathable, and gentle on painted surfaces, helping maintain near-ambient temperatures and protect aircraft components in all conditions.
Plugs and Protection:
Engine Inlet Plugs for the Piper PA-18 Super Cub are custom-fitted to each aircraft’s engine intakes, constructed from heavy-duty vinyl and filled with a single block of sculpted urethane foam. Each plug features a zipper for easy removal and drying of the foam, as well as visible warning flags or “remove before flight” streamers for safety. Many plugs can be personalized with the aircraft registration number for an additional charge. Designed to protect the engine even when installed after a flight while the engine is still warm, these plugs—also known as Cowl Plugs, Intake Plugs, Cowl Blocks, Engine Blocks, or Engine Bungs—provide reliable protection, though a storage bag is not included.
Wing/Tail/Empennage Covers:
The Piper PA-18 Super Cub horizontal stabilizer, empennage, and wing covers provide complete protection against sun damage, frost, snow, ice buildup, corrosion, and small- to medium-sized hail, helping preserve paint and control surfaces. Made from durable Solution-Dyed Polyester or Silver Acrylic Sunbrella canvas, these covers form-fit over the upper surfaces, wrapping around leading and trailing edges, and secure with adjustable straps while accommodating static wicks, antennas, beacons, and common wing modifications. Empennage covers protect the tailboom, rudder, and elevators with a one-piece design, including all-weather zippers and strap cinches, while wing covers attach under the wing and can connect at the leading and trailing edges. Available in all-year Silver Acrylic Sunbrella for maximum UV protection and durability or lighter, seasonal Solution-Dyed Polyester for occasional use, hail protection versions incorporate dense closed-cell foam for added impact resistance, ensuring reliable, long-term protection in all weather conditions.
Heat Shields and Sun Reflectors:
Heatshields for the Piper PA-18 Super Cub are interior sunshades designed to reduce cockpit overheating by blocking sunlight from the windshield, skylights, and other windows. Made from a lightweight composite of closed-cell foam with a reflective silver Mylar finish, the semi-rigid design allows the shields to stand securely using sun visors or window framing. They fold flat for easy storage in the included sleeve, with some models using Velcro, suction cups, or split left/right sections for a precise fit. While highly effective for short-term heat reduction, Heatshields are intended as a temporary solution, with external fabric covers recommended for long-term sun and heat protection.
Miscellaneous Products:
Tire and Wheelpant Covers for the Piper PA-18 Super Cub are designed to protect your wheels, tires, and wheelpants from sun damage and wear caused by tow bar use. Made from durable Silver Acrylic Sunbrella canvas, these all-year use covers provide excellent protection against sun, rain, snow, and other weather conditions while ensuring long-lasting performance and helping maintain the appearance of your aircraft’s wheels.
Light Weight Travel Covers:
The Lightweight Travel Canopy Cover is designed to provide the same protection as a standard canopy cover while using very lightweight, compact materials ideal for hangar-stored aircraft that only need occasional coverage. Made with Silver Solution-Dyed Polyester and lined over the windshield for minimal weight, the cover folds easily for storage. It offers water resistance for short-term outdoor use and comes with options for ultra-lightweight hangar dust covers. For more durable, daily outdoor protection, the standard Silver Acrylic Sunbrella cover is recommended, featuring a fully lined microfiber interior, reflective outer material, UV and anti-static protection, water, ice, and snow repellency, and breathable construction to reduce cabin temperatures and prevent moisture buildup.
