The opinions are unanimous about keeping a wood airframe dry. Admittedly it's tough to do that outside. Moisture can come from unobvious places, like the ground below the glider. I was hoping that someone had already demonstrated a solution, like installing a shallow platform on the ground (with a vapor barrier) and a removable rain/hail glider cover that leaves generous air gaps and cross ventilation around the glider. That, along with frequent inspections and being in a drier environment, may work. Does one want to be that pioneeringly "experimental", though. Thanks for everyone's inputs. Have you looked into the 'Ensign Sailplane Hangars'? http://ensignhangars.com/15meter.html Uli 'AS' |

I didn't know its brand name but am aware of that hangar type. So far as I know, permanent structures aren't allowed at the intended location, judging by their complete absence.
