Here's my canopy cover made from walmart tablecloths.


It weighs 2.3 lbs with bungees.


I made 3 of these tiedowns. Stakes are 3/8" aluminum rod, sharpened on one end and threaded for a nut on the other. The eye is 5/8" and there is a wingnut on top to tighten it up. The holes in the ends are 7/16" so I can angle in the rods. Weighs 1.8 lbs for the 3, plus whatever the rope weighs.


The rod came in an 8' length and I cut out 9 equal length pieces. The flat pieces are 4" long.

I am thinking of making a couple little black storage bags for this stuff, so I can stick it on the glareshield rather than the baggage compartment. That will keep my CG a little further forward to allow low fuel.

Looking forward to Oshkosh!

ps Adam has been building solo time working on his rating. Looking forward to turning him loose in the Waiex.

Nice pictures.

Thanks Greg!

I have no pictures, but Adam just passed his checkride.
