outdoors, what can we do to protect the composite, and how long until the
damage starts to go beyond easily reparable in this north Texas climate? We
will do no irreparable damage. -----Original Message-----From: Tony King via

Not pilots, but have a structural question for a KR2SIf you came up with a
structure that had the aircraft still sitting onitslanding gear (or with
brackets of some sort attached to the axles)you'dhave to expect it wouldn't do
any damage to the aircraft. Anarrangementthat somehow attached to the upper
landing gear mount pointsprobably wouldwork OK as well, but would be much
harder to implement withoutat leastminor (repairable) damage.You could
potentially hang it from thewing attach fittings and tailwheelas well. There's
a gap between the outerwing panel and the centre section(which may have a gap
seal over it) where acable could be attached. Thefront WAFs are probably
pretty close to thecentre of gravity though, so asandbag somewhere down the
back might be a goodidea in that case.Also keep in mind that the composite
construction doesn'tage well if it'ssituated outdoors.Cheers,TonyOn 7 September
