Default Revoc Covers for the Dolphins

These covers are the best I have seen and do a great job of protecting the Dolphins. (Not that we have never had any hangar rash) Made by Revoc. He has the patterns for the 2 FB Dolphins in his data base now. The colors are steched on fabric not printed or dyed. I think I would rather crash a jet than to ding it up transporting. The Dolphins are big jets and already have hit the covers getting them into and out of my workshop. If they would have not had covers for sure a ding in the paint ! He uses the design from pictures you send him. Felt lines and great quality. Just make sure you do a control check so you don't try and take-off with them on. One wing and one stab are not covered and hard to tell the difference !!

Sweet! Its a really great flying jet. No bad habits. Make sure you have at least 3.25" flap travel and I recommend about 5/16 crow. My CG is slightly forward of recommended for my flying preference. I love your paint job also.

Hey Albie,
Tell Jimmie nice work.... I like the painted trays, it looks better than the splatter paint I have been using

Maybe you can get a close up shot of the Flap linkage to post

Great Job Albert, I hope you get many hours of enjoyment from your Dolphin.

How did the flap linkages work out for you?
