This is my third set of Revoc covers. As before, the quality is outstanding. The Strato was not in their catalog, so I submitted dimensions. They sent test covers to validate fit. Production turnaround time exceeded expectations. If you want/need protective covers, I highly encourage contacting Revoc.

Strato by BJ Craft
This past Sunday evening, I maiden the Strato by BJ Craft. Yeah, I know it looks like all the other planes I fly, which is a good thing for these aging eyes. The initial test flight was uneventful. This was followed by three more flights during which a few settings were tweaked. Hopefully, I’ll be able to continue trimming flights this week in between forecasted afternoon rain showers.
