Temporary Cover for the Fuselage

To make it easier to keep the cabin area clean and dry I made a nice fitted cover from a heavy duty 8'x10' poly tarp from Lowes. I used duct tape to tape it in position to neatly form the pleats. I then sewed the pleats with some (Poly Fiber) machine sewing thread with my cheap Singer machine. Now I just slip it over the cabin and hold it snug with a bungee around the bottom rear and one on each gear leg.
It's much easier to install and remove than a loose tarp and it doesn't flap in the breeze which is what gets them torn on sharp corners, etc.
