outkast Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I bought one of these storage boxs to keep my motor in, I saw them in argos for £99 but found a place on ebay selling them for £79 delivered, they have lockable doors a clip together so no tools needed My motor fits nicely inside that dont look to secure I here you say! well fear not my aviation loving friends, I cut a hole in the bottom and installed a ground anchor in the concrete below and purchased a sturdy chain and padlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Very nice - I'd be tempted to keep the prop in the house to keep moisture from getting to it, especially in this weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_P Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Carbon won't be an issue at all. If you have a two blade wood prop, always park it horizontal so that moisture doesn't migrate down into the lower blade and mess up balance.
