Covers what to buy?

Tom,

I would say that putting the covers on takes same amount of time as efficient "deriggers" but in the morning I am find that I am ready to tow out in just a few minutes which is great (especially in dry climates). Getting the dew off is a potential issue requiring a squeegee and some patience to let the remaining moisture evaporate before fully taking the covers off (20 minutes). Covers also make it easy to put water in the glider during this evaporation wait. So in general I agree that covers are not a big "time" saver but they do allow me to avoid the process (some find this stressful) of rigging and deriggingnand and taping which is really nice on pleasant lazy evenings. And my experience in the mornings has been the best part of owning covers. Zero stress!

I would only add that you can water up before water pressure goes down... .

I just wanted to add to this conversation for future pilots researching covers. You don't need to mail order to China for Kerry covers. I bought mine from Northeast Sailplane in Ohio. (Might not be in business as I can't a website now??)
Secondly, tonight I just did a UV test on the material. I had recently cut out a section to install a clear vinyl window over my solar panel. I placed the removed material over my UV mineral lamp and moved it right next to a mineral that flouresces brilliant green under UV. It remained totally dark, even testing in a dark room! So these covers really do protect your finish from UV light. I am very happy with these covers. They seem to be totally waterproof too, yet breathable via bottom side mesh. Well thought out. And way less $$ than Jaxida.

CORRECTION: That should be Eastern Sailplane (John Murry, who I see is retiring announced June 8.)
