The 'condensation period' last winter far exceeded 2 weeks...but then maybe last winter was a particular munter.....there were times when my locale was fogged in for over a week at a time...all that wet air intimately cuddling my machine...not good..

Are we saying that the moist air isolated inside the heli-port sort of becomes stagnant....and subsequently warmer than the air same air outside.....and as that warmer air meets cold metal I get this condensation on the machine ??

Would somehow circulating the air or maybe roof/window rotary type vents fix this ??

I have a couple of commercial heat lamps I can set up..or I can buy tubular heaters as suggested...or I'm sure I could fashion up a large sleeping bag type arrangement to cover the hull to keep the metal warmer and the damp air out...??

It's one of those 'what's to do for best/simplest/thriftyness' things...

Appreciating your input guys

PD
