Default Composite aircraft evolution

Jacques Virchaux writes:

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 ?


Our temperature range in Ottawa, Canada is larger -- from about -35
degC in the winter to +40 degC in the summer. Our flying club's
next-door neighbour, Ottawa Aviation Services, runs a fleet of Katanas
for training (not hangared), so you might want to talk to them:

All the best,
