SUV PROTECTION

SUVs are a blessing for RC model-airplane folks. You can pack several planes, a cooler, a chair, and field equipment in the back and head off to the flying field. But I fly glow airplanes, and the engines can sometimes leak oil. After spending the afternoon cleaning all the stains from the carpeting, I had a brainstorm: Cover the vehicle’s interior. An old mattress cover that normally protects my planes while in storage was the perfect size to cover the rear compartment in the family caravan. Problem solved. Vincent Miller, Chicago, Illinois
