Never forget the time I went south to visit my folks right after a major hurricane went through NC. A few homes had filled their boats next to their homes with household furniture and loosened the bow painter so boat could float with their possessions. Tarp covered majority of items in boat. 

That trip was a real learning experience. The local cops didn't know next to nothing when asking for road advice. I gave them more info than they had..

  Depending on the weather, especially recently. The pickup might be ON the trailer.

    This is so blasphemes.....   my eyes are burning.

     

    I look at like this: 

     

    1. My primary plane is like the Sports car that gets garaged every day an polished every weekend.

    2. The backup is like the pickup and sits outside (in the trailer).

      I'm with you Ron. I think of pattern airplanes only as tools, not works of art.

        I don't believe in pampering my airplanes, so I don't wax them. If you start pampering an airplane, first thing you know, it'll want a new glow plug every flying session, a new prop or a new type of fuel with higher nitro content. 

         

        I think of my airplanes as pickup trucks. I expect them to be ready to go, no matter how badly I treat them. An airplane should be grateful when you charge the batteries every week or so or use an old cleaning rag to wipe areas you touch to pick them up so you don't get oil on your hands.

        Speaking of wax, has anyone tried reshrinking Monokote after it has been waxed? Did you have trouble doing it?

          I've gotten good results with a mix of 40% rubbing alcohol, 60% tap water,

          "spray and wipe" wax, once or twice a year. Makes the painted and covered
          surfaces much easier to clean.
