Campy,

I keep my planes in my shop which happens to be the furnace room in my basement. It is a room by itself with the furnace in the middle. Probably 14X18 ft. It stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. As for transmitter and receiver batteries I check them for any problems before I fly in the spring. Like I said I charge them up when I'm done with them for the winter. I didn't say I didn't check the amount of charge they have in them once a month. If they need to be charged I do it. This is both TX and RX. The after run oil subject has been talked about so much and there are two sides to the use of it. Half the guys say yes and the others say no. I just don't think it's necessary where I store my planes. Plus I hang all my planes by their stabs. This I've been told helps the front bearings greatly. This is done each time I turn over the props each month. Thanks for you feedback! I think what you do is a good idea if you have to store your planes in the cold, but not for my situation.
