Good points, I agree with them all. I guess the upside of having a short flying season is that our area doesn't have to contend with the blistering year-long heat that yours does.

Seldom over 90 degrees here, usually cloudy, and we fly on grass. Blacktop will amplify the heat to the nth degree. Like I said, I fly a lot of planes, this one will only come out for a few hours 2 or 3 times a month... shouldn't see a lot of sun. Sometimes I cover mine up too when not flying them (to protect them from the sun), which means they only see sun for 20-30 minutes per flying day.

Tmoth and others have used the WB techniques on planes for years, I'd defer to their experience on what long-term effects the weather has on them. If they have flown with it on planes 3+ years old with no ill effects, then I'd have to say it works... at least in our neck of the woods.
