As it gets colder i'll be flying less and less.

Is there any special way to store an engine during the cold months when it's not in use? Is it neccessary?

thanks!

I used to clean my aero engines with a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and petrol after each run to remove any corrosive deposits from burnt fuel.
This was easy to inject into the engine after each days flying through the venturi.
I now have to remove the inlet pipe to the carb to achieve the same on my heli engine.

Remove the back cover and spray with Corrosion X available online and some auto and marine stores.This is the best anti rust out there and wont dry up or hurt o rings. Yogi
