1- What are the field covers made of?
2- Are they magnetic?
3- Do they affect the speed/vibration/noise?
4- Are they removable?
5- How durable are they?
6- How much?
7- What are the differences between the one's Raiderman makes vs Wierdwolf/Kansas Bill vs what Decal Master is planning to unveil?
I think I would love to order a couple but I need some input!!!

The field covers we supplied for Al were a vinyl type with a clear type of coat on top.. They are not magnetic.. They did cut down on the noise, but they did not smother the motor.. (as some will do).. The ones we do, for all practical purposes.. are NOT removable.. I'd say they'd outlast us all as well.
And to be honest.. With me having to use "another source" to get them made, AND I don't do the artwork.. We've really just done them for ourselves in the Tornado Alley.. Then Al and Weirdwolf have done some bartering along the way.. and that's how we ended up doing Al's..
I've heard good things about Raiderman and George Diamonds field covers. I don't think they use the same material as we do.. And I think Weirdwolf does a fantastic job with his artwork.
And from what I've seen.. Decal Master has made a significant investment to produce his own field covers.. And in doing so, he has options in finding the best ink, best materials, best durability, etc...
Granted.. We are happy with the results we have had with our field covers.. But if I was entirely happy I would have put field covers for sale on the Tornado Alley EFS site. (they aren't there) There was some hit and miss in there as well. (And I have them in my EF room to prove it.. lol)
