    Default plexiglas hole plugs

    When is someone going to make a set of see-through plexiglass covers for the holes for the fuel gauges, spar bolts and push rod view ports? Something you can see through, and something that keeps the wind from blowing in. WF

    Default Hole Covers

    That is a good idea. Hopefully some creative person will come up with an idea. In the mean time, try clear packing tape in wide strips. Works great in Minnesota winters.

    Default Tape

    That's all I use is 3" wide clear plastic tape for the winter.

    In the colder regions you can go to the hardware store, purchase a windows insulation kit consisting of heath shrinking clear plastic and a roll of double sided sticky tape. Glue the clear plastic over all the holes with this tape, use a hair dryer to stretch the plastic. Now you have a perfect seal and you can see through as if nothing was there and it even looks neat when installed. Best of all no more drafts. Mine have been on from day one, easy to remove and replace if you need to take the wings off.
