Brian I really don't think this type of aircraft will do well being
outside on a permanent basis. I'd be concerned with warpage due to
humidity and temp extremes. These do require a lot of maint for the 1st
year or so till you get the bugs out. My cowl was off every other wkend
for the first year as I hunted down oil leaks, U may have better luck in
that area. I pay $150 a month for my own hanger and it's really worth the
money
