Default Rain cover for F3A biplane

Does anybody know a good, effective rain cover to protect the plane in those fields where there is not a roof to wait until the rain stops?

I'm practicing at a new place with very similar alttitude to the worlds, but it is a pretty raw place (just a grass runway and that's it, see a couple of pictures below. It is in Medellin, Colombia) .I'd like to protect the plane during the rainfall while I wait in the car.

Thank you!

Marcelo

Hello Marcelo,

Down in Australia, we just use a cheap blue tarpaulin with tent pegs to hold it down in wind. Works a treat and packs away very small.

Cheers,
Jason.

Some ideas my friend:

You can fasten one side of the tarp tocar or a tree and the other side to the ground, easy and cheap.

Saludos.
