DURING FLYABLE STORAGE
In a favorable atmospheric environment the engine of an
aircraft that is flown intermittently can be adequately pro-
tected from corrosion by turning the engine over five
revolutions by means
ot
the propeller. This will dispel any
beads of moisture that may have accummulated and
spread the residual lubricating oil around the cylinder
walls. Unless the aircraft is flown, repeat this procedure
every five days.
