Default Winter Care

....And Bounce dryer sheets are the bomb for removing dried on bugs. Use
a wet Bounce sheet and watch the bugs melt. I learned that from a lot
of cross country on my Harley. Works great on the polycarbonate
windshield but I'd try a discreet area before using it on my canopy.

For many or most of us, winter is here and the gliders are parked for a number of months. I have removed every battery from the cockpit, put mouse poison in the trailer and taken out anything that should not freeze (waxes, plexi-glass cleaners etc).

What is the best way store glider batteries, specifically LiPO4's? Just plug them in the charger? Does it matter if they are in the house or in a cold garage?

What the PDA's and PNA's? Again just keep them on the charger in the warm house?

Any other items folks do to bundle up their gliders?

Does anyone use mothballs?

Mice seem to hate moth balls and really hate mint.

I've had good luck with dryer fabric softener sheets; no critters since I started using them.
