Default RE: Winterizing Planes?

Wise Guy replies not needed

As the newsletter editor for our club I am trying to come up with a checklist for our members who do not fly in the winter. Items that I have thought of:

Make sure Fuel Tank is empty.
Clean Plane
Check Plane for any repairs needed
Fix anything found in previous step.
Clean Engine
Add Afterrun Oil to Engine
Cycle Batteries

I seem to remember seeing a good article last year sometime in AMA or MAN publications talking about this, however I can not seem to locate the article. Searches have turned up nothing. If anyone has anything to add to the list or knows of an article talking about Winterizing a Model Airplane please add to this thread.

Thanks....and please remember no Wise Guy replies needed this is for our members who do not fly in the winter.
