Blade Covers

(T2011) are cut full to avoid trim tab damage.
A small opening at the tip of the cover allows
for air circulation and drainage. The covers are
of medium weight nylon and weigh approxi­
mately eight pounds (3 kg).
(1). Blade covers (7) can be installed with or
without tiedowns, and tied down at any
convenient spot on the ground with the
aid of a lightweight rope attached to
the open end.
