Hi all,

I am about to head off overseas for a 3yr assignment. I will be
leaving my LS6 in its trailer (fibreglass Komet). Are there any ideas
on specific prepapration I could do to limit deterioration? I would
like to give her a coat of wax before putting her away. Maybe a
sheet of plastic over the hull in case the trailer leaks? Although
this could trap condensation and make it worse. It's generally pretty
dry here. Mouse poison?

Thanks, Ben

Yes, I would think rodents would be one of the primary concerns. They
crap and pee on everything and that stuff is very corrosive. If you
have any wiring, they will surely chew off all of the insulation. Seat
cushions would be the next in line. Would you have anyone that could
periodically put out more poison? They will finish the stuff off long
before the three years has passed. Poison is probably not a "cure all"
anyways. The damn things will go and bury themselves in the deepest
recesses of the ship and die. I think it would be far better to find a
trusted pilot friend to keep the ship active for the three years...
