Believe the paranoia is at least partially due to the digital displays on Terra -D series radios and transponders, which have failed after not being heated up for a while. Something to do with the adhesive used on the back of the LCD?

Many times I have used electronic devices after storage at well below freezing for extended periods. Anything from voltmeters and tablet PCs to digital audio amplifiers and mixing consoles. The cables for all that crap might not lie flat when removed from their cases, but otherwise no problems.

Just put my Ventus away. I store it in a hanger at a not so local airport.. I had the annual just before and everything is waxed and looking good. I have been told by some to remove my instruments because the LED lights will freeze. They haven't froze before....My toyota has them and I keep that car outside during the winter so do I really need to go thru the agony of removing instruments?
