About Mcovers
Mcovers is an independent aviation accessories brand specializing in protective covers for general aviation aircraft.
We offer model-specific wing and horizontal stabilizer covers for selected Cessna and Piper aircraft, along with pilot accessories. Our covers are designed to help protect aircraft parked outdoors from snow, frost, rain, UV exposure, and dust.
Why I Started Mcovers
Mcovers was born from my own experience as a general aviation aircraft owner in Toronto, Canada.
Over the years, I have owned several aircraft, including both single-engine piston and twin-engine aircraft. Living and flying in Canada gave me firsthand experience with the challenges of winter aircraft ownership.
When an aircraft is parked outside without access to a hangar, snow, frost, and ice on the wings and tail can turn what should be a simple flight into a much longer process. Before flying, the aircraft may need significant time for snow removal, frost and ice removal, and preparation of the wing and tail surfaces.
A good set of wing and tail covers can make winter flying much easier, especially for aircraft owners who do not have regular access to a hangar.
At the same time, I found that many aircraft cover options on the market were expensive, particularly for owners who simply wanted practical protection for an aircraft parked outdoors.
That experience led me to start Mcovers.
About Me
I've owned several aircraft, including a Piper Arrow, a Piper Cherokee, and a twin-engine aircraft. Each came with its own unforgettable experiences.
With my Piper Arrow, I once had to squawk 7700 after experiencing rough engine shortly after completing a scenic flight along the Hudson River in New York City. The engine had accumulated fewer than 30 flight hours since its overhaul at a shop in Ontario. That incident nearly landed me on the evening news.
My Piper Cherokee had its share of adventures too, including an engine failure on the runway after landind and a blown tire. Two years after I sold my share, the aircraft crashed in Toronto and finally made the headlines. Fortunately, nobody was injured.
Even my twin-engine aircraft joined the adventure with a birds strike.
Despite all these adventures, I still love flying just as much as the day I started. But Canadian winters have taught me that owning an aircraft isn't always as enjoyable as flying one.
