Dry out your ship, slick it up, use WX block system once, preferably =
twice a year, NEVER tie it out, and store it in your trailer inside a =
basement or hanger, etc..

P. Gaines



Why *NEVER tie it out*. Is your concern UV, moisture, or something
else? My ship is based in Phoenix, AZ where the humidity is usually
very low. Most of my fellow club pilots tie down for the duration of
a contest.

When I go to New Mexico or Texas I see dew on the wings in the
morning. Why should I be concerned about a little moisture on the
wings if I put 30 gallons inside them for 6 or more hours each contest
day?
