Winter Storage

[Mike McCarron[_2_]]

I live in upstate NY and it gets quite cold here during the winter. In the
winter I have always stored my ASW-27 glider in my house and the trailer in
an unheated hanger. My trailer is a cobra with a fiberglass top. Am I
doing it any harm storing it in the unheated hanger? Would it do any harm
if I stored my glider in the unheated hanger?

In short, no. Just keeping the vehicles away from rain/snow/hail/sun/
mildew/critters is a huge advantage compare the the great majority of
owners who have less space/resources.

If you decide to sell in 10 years, let me know,,,

The trailer will be fine but if I had the option I would
definitely store the glider in the house to keep damp out of
the structure and the instruments. Alternatively, as I do in
Scotland, keep the glider in the trailer under cover with an
adsorption type mains power dehumidifier in the trailer.
