Dehumidifier RV 12

[AndyDunx]

Ny RV 12 will not be flown this year during winter - (Australia) due to O/S travel - Looking at dehumidifier options that are hands off / maintenance free ?

I have been using the drybot. I am happy with it. https://www.rpxtech.com/store/p19/drybot-engine-dehydrator.html

Is this really necessary on a (Rotax)? The crank case is virtually sealed to the atmosphere with the engine is not running.

Cylinders are also ceramic lined so no worries with wall corrosion. To be safe I still fog the engines before winter layup on both of the 912s on my aircam.

I have used DryBot for over a year during build delays. Great customer support in finding a good was to connect to my 12iS.

I'm happy with the Mojave from Red Baron Aviation.
It's similar to designs that many build for themselves (small aquarium pump, food container, etc.), but at only $150 shipped, I'd rather spend my time on other things. Shown in this VAF thread:

Unfortunately they require some service. Cannot plug in and walk away. I required that ability si went with the DryBot.

If by "service" you mean the very occasional refreshing of the desiccant beads, then yes. I'm sure DryBot is a superior product that doesn't look like a kid's science experiment, but I'm happy to do this little bit of service to save $1,000 on the purchase price.

Yes I would be willing to as well if I was there to do it. Actually if I was there I wouldn't need one because I would fly.

All seriousness the original poster said he would be traveling overseas for extended period of time.
