eliminate problems caused by leaking door and window seals. They keep the windshield and window surfaces clean andhelp prevent vandalism and theft.

The Cockpit Cover is designed to cover the windshield and side windows of the cockpit. Attachment buckles are made ofnonmetal Delrin, designed for rugged outdoor use. The windshield cover comes with a duffle bag. The Tail Number(N-number, call sign, registration number, or serial number) can be imprinted onto the cover for an extra charge. Thewindshield cover and the duffle bag are trimmed to match the colors of the aircraft.

The Bell 407 Windshield/Nose Cover is designed to cover the windshield and side windows of the cockpit, and extendsforward to cover the nose.

Rotor Hub Covers overlaps with the Blade Covers to ensure complete protection for the entire main rotor system. Designedlike a jacket with sleeves and no collar, the rotor hub cover fastens together below each blade with Delrin buckles. The RotorHub Cover is normally made from Solution-Dyed Polyester.

Engine Cover details vary by model, but generally these covers are designed to enclose and protect the swash plate, inlet,exhaust and engine access areas. They are designed to tighten up around the main rotor drive shaft and tailboombottleneck areas, and attach securely with straps either under the belly or to the land gear cross tubes (or both). Delrinbuckles are used to tighten the attachment straps. The engine cover is made of Solution-Dyed Polyester or acrylic Sunbrella, and is available in a variety of colors ([contact us for details](/contact). Specific information for each model isavailable on request.

The Bell 407 Insulated Engine Cover is made with a thicker, quilted, water-repellent, and breathable material that isinsulated on the inside. The Insulated Engine Cover works well in cold climates to help with engine preheating.

The Bell 407 Blade Covers are sewn of medium weight Solution-Dyed Polyester. Cut "full" to avoid trim tabs,Blade Covers can be installed from the ground with the aid of lightweight rope which is attached to the open end. Covers arecinched tight at the blade root with straps and quick-release plastic buckles. A small opening at the tip of the cover allows forsome air circulation and drainage. For operations in extremely cold weather, the Cold Weather Blade Covers are fittedwith full length zippers, and with optional "boots" designed to accept a preheater hose.

Blade Tie-Downs are "socks" which fit over the blade tip with or without Blade Covers installed. Front bladetie-downs have two lengths of rope or strap which attaches to the front cross tubes on either side of the cabin. The othertie-downs have generous lengths of rope or strap to tie the blades down at any convenient spot.

The Bell 407 Tail Rotor Cover is a one-piece design which encloses both the blades and their hub, snapping closed alongthe bottom edge. The tail rotor cover is normally made from Solution-Dyed Polyester.

Tail Rotor Tie-Downs are a similar design to the main blade tie-downs. Stout bungee cords attached to the tie-down sockspull the rotor tips back toward the hub, pulling the tail rotor back to a secure position.

The Engine Inlet Plugs are custom fit for your Bell 407 intakes, made with heavy-duty vinyl material, and stuffed with asingle block of sculpted urethane foam. Each plug has a zipper that allows the foam to be removed and dried if necessary.Engine plugs have 'Remove Before Flight' streamers sewn onto the face of the plugs. Most plugs areembroidered with the aircraft registration number in black. Engine plugs may be inserted after flight when the engine is stillwarm. Engine Inlet Plugs are commonly referred to as Cowl Plugs, Intake Plugs, Cowl Blocks, Engine Blocks, and EngineBungs.

Pitot Tube Covers, made of Naughahyde vinyl, are designed to cover the entire pitot assembly. Slipping on over the tube,the cover tightens around the base with a special Velcro strap detail. A "Remove Before Flight" streamer isattached to the cover. Non-burning Pitot Covers are designed to withstand more than 500° Fahrenheit, and will prevent

the pitot cover from melting onto the tube if the pitot heat is accidentally turned on with the pitot cover attached.

The Tailboom Cover details vary by model, but generally the helicopter tail boom cover encloses the tail boom from the"bottleneck" to the aft end. They usually also cover the horizontal stabilizers, and are custom made to allow forantennae, lights, and other protrusions. They attach with straps underneath the tail boom. Covers for the vertical andhorizontal stabilizers are also available separately. Specific information for each model is available on request.

Heatshield Interior Reflectors are made of a special laminate of metallized polyester film and closed cell foam. Less than1/8" thick, the Reflector can roll up and store in a sleeve, yet is stiff enough when flat to stand up against thewindshield using the sun visors and window framing only. On some designs no Velcro or suction cups are necessary. Heatshields are an excellent short-term remedy for cockpit overheating, but use the Bubble Cover for more effective andpractical long term protection. Heatshields should not be used on polarized windows.

The Bell 407 Lightweight Travel Bubble Cover is the same design as our standard bubble cover, but the material used isvery lightwieight and will fold up and store in a smaller space.
