Long Term Storage

For long term turbine storage:

1. Remove turbine from the airframe.
2. Stand the turbine up on its tail cone and run kerosene fuel thru the turbine until it drips out the tail cone.
3. Give the turbine a few spins.
4. Seal the fuel and gas lines.
5. Clean the exterior.
6. Wrap the turbine with rag and place it in a plastic bag.
7. Seal the bag and store her standing up.

If you are just storing the turbine for a month or two, you can just leave her in the airframe providing that the jet is kept away from high moisture area. After long storage, it is also wise to check your batteries and fuel/gas plumbings.
