Winter Storage

This might be a stupid question, but it's our first Fiver. We just finished winterizing and I have a Landing Gear question. Is there anything that I need to do to keep the landing gear/motor in good working condition for a 5 month winter storage.

Thanks for the help.

I put some dry spray lube on the landing gear where the sections slide into one another. At the top of the legs the gears should be greased (not necessarily for Winter storage, but at some point). Lube your rear Stab jacks, too.

Hi Jamie, you may want to chech tightness on the motor mounts, the cross connecting bar, and the screws that connect the bar to the legs. You can pop the tops off the leg shafts and make sure there is grease in the legs.
