I want to leave my Phoebus A assembled between flights. It is in CA -
at a desert site with searing sun in the summer, ample wind and (of
course) rain in the winter though not often much below freezing.

What experience can you share about using Jaxida (or other brand)
covers? How well do they protect? How much of a hassle are they to
put on and off? Any other comments?

I happened to be chatting to a fellow pilot last weekend, and he said
that when he used covers it took substantially longer to remove and
replace them than it did to rig and derig the glider (LS8).

Wouldn't one-man rigging gear be cheaper than covers?

My Open Cirrus takes about 15 mins to rig and tape up with two helpers,
and about 10 mins to derig. I've heard the Phoebus can be more awkward
though. If your wings have balsa cores, I'd be concerned about covers in
the wet weather.
