First of all I would like to say hello as a newbie to fllight. Im moving over from 1/10th and 1/8th scale offroad racing. Upon moving over to planes, I did alot of reading on this site and must say, its a great site with alot of great information. I chose my plane (hangar 9 mustang pts) joined the AMA and have talked with a local flight club which I intend on joining. Ive already talked to a club member who will help me with training. In the mean time, I spend countless hours on the sim.
My question is about storing my plane in the garage. Here in Utah the temps can get very cold in the winter (sub zero) and often around 100 in the summer. Will these temps 1. cause any warping with the plywood/balsa in a plane? 2. Will it have any effect on the covering bubbling or seperating? 3. will it result in condensation in the engine leading to rust etc?
When I raced nitro offroad, this wasnt much of an issue as my cars were in the house. I dont have the room for the larger plane. I have seen the thread on the racks for storing and if there are no issues to be concerned with, I will definately build one in the garage.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks, Shawn.
