Re: Cool down time?

I have heard and read alot about the process of cool down in MCT's and SCT's. My question is that I live in south Florida where temps rarely drop below 40-50 degrees, is this such a great issue at these temps and is the humidity level a concern? I am considering buying a MK66 or MK67 and am wondering if I will have to wait 1 hour for it to cool down?

I live in Jacksonsville and cool down is still an issue. If you keep it in an unheated garage then you won't have to wait as long as you would if you lived in Vermont. I usually leave my Mak 7out a couple of hours. The humidity is diffinetely a concern. You need a dew shield.
