Info please!
Do any one know of some one who is in the textile business up in gauteng. I am looking for polyester or a polyester / nylon blend material to make wing and fuselage covers for my baby. The pigeon and owl droppings is driving me up the wall. I have got her covered up in some of my wifes linnen that dissapeared misteriously from home at the moment.

Thanx Thunderboy, will give him a call as soon as I get back in to the country. My softness have all the skills and tools to make the covers as well as some more potential "customers" from our little cabage patch.

Me too, all the lekker flyday and breakfast flyins you guys have
Be careful with the fabric you choose, especially if it is going to cover the windcreen. Lexan is notorious for scratching easily. I used an old cotton baby blanket for the windscreen, placed very carefully without wiping, then the fuse cover over it
What about this idea. Go to the sail or parachute guys and try and pick up an old spinakker or chute that is beyond it's useby date. (I believe they have a limited lifespan due to UV)
Then suspend it across the four corners of the hanger, with a pulley and rope from the roof down to the centre.
pull it up, push the plane in, let it down, viola instant aircraft cover

Thank you gents. Will ask the softness to add some thing similar to a baby blanket. Just worried that she is going to insist on using a pink one with cute little babies on. Need to find baby blankets with aircraft on.
