Wing and Tail Covers/Totes
Does anyone know where I can find some wing & tail covers for my airplanes, during transit? I was looking at Wing Totes but, they only seem to have them for the main wing, not the tail/empenage. I'd like to have some professional quality stuff.
Thought about going to Hobby Lobby buying fabric and sewing them, but by the time I do that, with foam in between I'm approaching the commercial price and lost time.
Thanks for any suggestions.</p>

RE: Wing and Tail Covers/Totes
They just did an article on this in Fly RC magazine (July 2009 issue). They said to start out using a roll of reflectix, and some duct tape. They state to cut the reflectix to the size of the wing x 2 and tape them together with the tape, leaving an opening to slide the wings in. You can make it a top load or an end load for the main wings. I am sure you could come up with something for the tail/empenage also. I am not sure if this is professional quality enough, but it sure is affordable.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm definitiely going to go look up that Fly R/C article.
Still though, none of these fit the professional quality stuff I'm looking for. Any ideas?

Hobby Pak makes some nice, inexpensive wing bags.
There is a company that makes some nice stab covers but I can't remember the name right now - Oh yeah, RCArmour.com
