I hate it. When I moved to Chapel Hill two years ago, I lost my hangar. No hangars are available here and I park my plane outside during the summer. Consolation is that the airport is only 2 miles away. Winters it goes to another airport 30 minutes away, but since I don't fly as often in winter it is tolerable. The birds crap on the tail and it turns to glue in just days. The wax looks dull in just a couple of weeks, and it's impossible to keep it clean. Other than that, it seems fine. I bought a FULL cover for the plane, but have only used it once (want to but it?).
