This month's EAA calendar features an Aeronca Champ on skis. I don't fly
much in weather that is THAT cold, so....

What is with the foxy covers on the prop?

Especially if it's a wood prop, I imagine it's simply to protect the prop
from the weather. Even a metal prop might have to be deiced if you don't
cover it; the cover simply saves some time during preflight.
