Composite aircraft evolution

The obvious answer is to go find a glider club. Europe is full of them.
The Katana is constructed like the gliders.

They'll probably tell you to hangar it. No matter how a plane is made,
hangaring will quadruple the life of the plane. Unless you plan on
bashing it during the next year or two.

As our club want to buy a new DA-40 (Diamond Aircraft) and let it
outside I need some experienced advices.

In our country, temperatures are between -20°C (-4°F) and +35°C (95°F)
with some snow in winter. I know that composite are now more reliable
but someone told me that Katanas had problems under high temperature
(wings distortions).

Has any private owner or a club any experience with a composite
aircraft not hangared during some years ?

Thanks in advance.
