hangar optimisation

Or get an industrial dehumidifier to deal with the wet air we get on this damp little island.

I got mine from the back of the autotrader (or farmers' trader) for £250 - it is a reconditioned dri-air 150 (I think) and keeps the condensation off my airframe and out of my instruments for the duration of the winter. It is on most of the time for Nov-Feb.

The problem with plastic sheeting is that it traps the moisture in when the atmosphere gets dry outside.

Some days I am removing 4 or 5 gallons of water that would otherwise have been in the air within my hangar from the outflow bucket of the dehumidifier.

Here is where I got mine from:
