I think the cabin and prop covers are essential,,,,,,canopies tend to leak a little...it would be good if you could also wrap your engine cowl---it snows sideways here too. Otherwise - with fixed aluminum gear, your sbiggest enemy will be wind. I don't remember if the plans call for it, but drilling drainage holes in each section of the floor helps keep things dry...did the same on a rag wing.....Jeff

Jeff > Hi Jeff, Unfortunately there isn't any rental hangar space available here, at least not right now (It is $150 per month when it is available). If I end up buying a flying KR-2, I'd have to keep it outside for awhile, which is why I was asking how bad that would be. It might be a year before I can get into a hangar, and that means rain, snow, and ice here in Maine. I can buy wing covers, cabin covers, tail covers, and a prop cover. Will that be enough, or am I going to ruin the airplane if I leave it on the ramp? -Dj -- Dj Merrill - N1JOV Sportsman 2+2 Builder #7118 N421DJ KR-2 Builder N770DJ http://deej.net/sportsman/ http://deej.net/kr-2/ "Many things that are unexplainable happen during the construction of an airplane." --Dave Prizio, 30 Aug 2005 _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
