Get one of those metal look foam filled sunshades that you put inside your
cars windscreen to keep out the sun, fold it it half and run a sewing
machine up the side and across one end. Cost almost nothing, and works well.
As you have such big cars in America, you should have no problem with
size:-) We have to ensure that we get hold of larger size sun-shades because
some of the ones that they import into Australia are designed for those
weenie Korean cars and can be a tight fit on the wing cord of an average 3m
moulded model.
My last set of wing bags cost $15 AUD.

Subject: [RCSE] Alternative airplane bags
I'd like to get some sort of bag to carry my 120" span plane, but mainly
for convenience, as opposed to all out protection. Because of this, I'm a
bit too cheap to shell out $160 for a custom airplane bag. I was wondering
if there are any alternatives to the more expensive, purpose built airplane
bags?
Also, has anyone tried using a snowboard bag? I've been looking at them on
the net, and it seems like they would fit the bill, in that they are
padded, often have multiple pockets for stuff, and are generally over 60"
long (big enuf for a 2 piece open-class wing). Some even have multiple
pockets for multiple boards (or wings). The cool thing is that they seem to
run about half the price of a similarly sized custom airplane bag. I
figure it shouldn't be too hard to adapt one of these to use for a big
glider. What'dya think?
