I recently got a beautiful 60" Ocelot and want to keep it beautiful. I have been looking around for bags and the only one I could find was over $200! That's more than half the cost of the airframe! I found another on Icare but they say they don't offer it anymore.

My plane has a detachable wing. The fuse has a fixed V-tail. Am I just going to have to be a seamster for a day? ;)

Where do they come from?! I hate hangar rash...and I won't stand for it! Who's with me on that one? :)

You can make perfectly serviceable bags from bubble wrap. Fold a piece over your wing and tape it closed with packing tape. Leave one end open :rolleyes: .
