Help - We are operating a BO 105 in some very harsh and sandy conditions and have consequently started hurting because of it. Is there someone else who has done this and figured out a few tricks about keeping the sand out of the aircraft, or for that matter figured out a good cleaning and dusting out regime or schedule to this effect. The aircraft doesn't fly alot each month (20 to 30 hours) and most of our damage is comming from accumulated sand when the aircraft sits in a drafty, hole infested hangar. We try hard but this sand is worse than snow. Thanks. DC:\

Have you tried fitting the a/c covers...a naus I know, but better than having to clean out the sand every day!!
