Default RE: Winter storage and Spring Prep

A few tips for easy winter storage:

1) Cycle your transmitter and receiver batteries once per month when not actively flying

2) Empy fuel tanks and crank cases of fuel as thoroughly as possible before storing

3) Work a few drops of after run oil or 100% synthetic motor oil through carburator and crank case to prevent corrossion during storage

4) Store planes on a rack if possible so tires don't deform/get flat spots during storage

These simple maintenence steps will assure that your glow planes will be in good running condition once spring weather has you itching for some stick time.
