I can't believe that the topic of MKIV winter maintenance has gotten no
coverage.

We all know that you have to run an aircraft engine once in a while if
the aircraft is not flown to get rid of acids forming in the crank case
- or whatever. Surely something must be done to the MKIV during the long
winter months in order to keep it performing in top condition.

Every couple of weeks, I pull the fuselage out of the trailer and blow
air from a hair drier (at the *cool* setting) over the MKIV, but wonder
if this is sufficient to maintain optimal performance. Your expert
advice on this subject is requested.

P.S. I do *not* simulate tail slides with the hair drier
