Robins outside
For a start - it is sensible to hangar any aircraft - wooden or otherwise.
You'd certainly want to garage a £125k car wouldn't you!
I have a full set of Cambrai touring covers. They take up very little room in the aircraft - they come in ther own custom-made bags.
I also reckon that you should protect any aircraft from UV as well the rain.
My paint still looks like brand new.
I cover it inside the hangar too!
I tour extensively and can often blag my way into a hangar. Even if I do - the covers still go on inside - keeps the birs crxp and dust off.
I used to instruct on Robins. They were rarely hangared. I bumped into one of my old steeds a whle back - now with 25000 hours on it and looking gooood!
The Robin is made of Oregon Pine and plywood, covered in Dacron.
Easy to inspect, easy to repair - the airframe spares grown in the ground.
DR400 - 10 million flying hours and going strong.
Easiest aircraft you will ever fly - 22kt crosswind (max demondstrated - will cope with a lot more) - excellent brakes, ground handling etc. etc.
