Canopy Cover

What canopy cover do you guys recommend for my RV-4? Van's website talks about a heavy cover and a light weight cover. Since my plane is mostly hangered, the cover will be be used for the occassional overnight stay outside. There does not appear to be much price difference between the two. Also, where is the best place to get one?

Cover for RV4

Jerry,
I just purchased an almost new cover from an RV4 owner that just sold his airplane. The cover I have came from Cleaveland Aircraft, website here: http://www.cleavelandtool.com (note odd spelling) The cover is lightweight and fits well. I think it is waterproof. Their website says the cost is $162. I purchased it for the same reason you describe; occasional trips parked outside. You might want to check it out. Quality is good.

Sincerely, Brian Vickers, RV4 finishing - completed all the cut-outs in the panel tonight!!! I'm getting' there!!! Radio trays going in next...
