Mouse poison is a good idea. I always place some in the trailer during
winter storage.

I place a tray of mouse poison on a tray at the rear of my Cobra trailer.

Usually in the spring there is no sign of mice but 3 years ago I found that
all the poison has been moved by the mice into a nest made of kitchen roll,
at the front of the trailer. I have no idea how they got in.

I assume they had eaten some of the poison and died, but I never found dead
ones in the trailer.

No damage caused by the mice except part of a chewed up kitchen roll. I had
failed to remove this from the trailer.

I reckon that without the poison, I would have had some damage to anything
the mice like to chew such as wiring.

For many or most of us, winter is here and the gliders are parked for

number of months. I have removed every battery from the cockpit, put

plexi-glass cleaners etc).

What is the best way store glider batteries, specifically LiPO4's?
Just plug them in the charger? Does it matter if they are in the house
or
in a cold garage?

What the PDA's and PNA's? Again just keep them on the charger in the
warm house?

Any other items folks do to bundle up their gliders?

I don't think you can go wrong with the following recommendations.

The recommended is to discharge the battery about 1/2 and then store do
not leave on the charger. I don't think warm or cold will matter, but I
would bring them in the house out of the condensation.

PDAs PNAs in the house on the charger every month or so.

Mouse poison I don't know.
You will find the mice in the summer when the dead ones heat up and
stink.
