Default The Effect of Heat on Models

Wondering just how bad it is to keep my planes and the kits I am building in my garage. I have no ventilation and live in Orlando, FL where it is hot hot hot.

Thanks,
Pat

Mine are in my trailer and it gets -15 to 110F! No problems except for my spads.

I would use after run oil in the engines because of the humidity. Also, keep your coverings/paint light in color. This will reduce heat build up when at the field. Except for that, the only other problem I can forsee is wrinkling of the film covering, but that is common to all areas. You will probably see more of it where you are due to the heat.
