Solar Vents
I inspected 3 sailplanes last week that had been stored in their
trailers and left outside. Two of the ships showed no moisture damage and one showed rusted components in the cockpit. Guess which two had solar vents? JJ |

For example, where the ships all the same age, stored in the same place, in the same kind of trailer, made by the same factory? |

A Minden fab (metal), a Cobra (fiberglass) and a Polish something or other (Fiberglass), all left outside, two in the San Francisco bay area, one in the Sacramento Valley, all ships about 10 years or older. I just found some blistering on the DG-300 I'm getting ready to re- finish, checked the solar vent on its metal Cobra trailer and guess what? I isn't wirking! JJ |
