CANOPY COVERS
Platinum Series
Canopy Cap
cover is designed to be a light weight, compact reflective shade cover
for use when rigging and while waiting on the grid. The strapless design
allows easy access to the cockpit during assembly. When you are ready for
launch, slip the cover off and stow it in the included storage bag, in the
cockpit while you fly. It is not meant for extended use
outdoors
or while trailering as it won’t allow the canopy to be locked when it is on
the glider. I have attached two photos to give you an idea of how it works.
How to use the Platinum Series Canopy Cap
Find the care label near the center seam. This is the front of the canopy
cover. Place the rear of the cover over the back of your raised canopy and
hook the elastic around both rear corners. Pull the cover forward and hook
the elastic around the front of the canopy and at both front corners.
Straighten the center seam to align down the middle of the canopy and adjust
any wrinkles along the sides until smooth. You can now raise and lower your
canopy at will during set up and while on the grid. There are no
inconvenient straps to get in the way!

After testing numerous prototype covers, we
feel we have come up with the best design for the side hinge canopies.
The
solution was to add an interior strap with miniature quick release buckle
which holds the cover firmly in place yet is still quick to install and
remove.
