(Guys and gals, this forum has been mighty quiet, lately.)
Some northerners need to prepare their plane for a winter storage period, being sure they won't be flying. Others need to go on a long trip or some other expected event will prevent their flying for months. Question 1: How do you recommend they prepare the plane and engine for winter storage? Question 2: How do you recommend they prepare the plane and engine for months or even a year or more of non-use? Comment: Some old recommendations for engines included starting the engine every week or so. Some recommendations I've heard more recently were to land the plane after the last flight, plug any openings and just let it sit, never starting, until you are ready to use it again. What are the tested and proven best practices? Ed Ed Burkhead http://edburkhead.com/Ercoupe/index.htm East Peoria, Illinois ed -at- edburk???head.??com (remove the ? marks and change -at- to @)
