Hi gang,



Many of us have problems with the expense, and availability of 

hangars for our RV's. At over $400/month for a "T" in the 

Philadelphia area if you could even find one, I and several others 

have discussed tie down solutions. None of which are palatable.  Any 

one who ties down his/her aircraft outside will have to find a 

temporary hangar in which to do repairs and maintenance. That's OK, 

do-able.  But few of us live in a geographical area that is 

acceptable for long-term outside storage in terms of heat cold and 

moisture. I have recently spent some time in the almost perfect 

weather of Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and  still find them only 

marginal for long term outside storage of an RV.



What many of us really need is a solution that consists of some sort 

of shell that covers and protects our aircraft, can be removed 

easily, and would be acceptable to the airport and insurance 

companies (We don't want the thing blowing away and damaging other 

aircraft). Do any of you on this list have any ideas how to create 

the "Tie Down Hangar" I am conceptualizing?  It would be worth a 

fortune to the person who can create and provide a secure "Tie Down 

Hangar" that the airport would find acceptable.

I'm with you, we really do need something (not really an entirely new idea I'm sure).  One problem is that my airport will not allow any kind of a tarp or awning.  Whatever it is would have to be entirely supported by the aircraft itself... 

  

 I have been thinking about some sort of tarp that will cover the canopy area supported by clamps on the wings or fuselage.  But a reasonable design escapes me.

The Plane Pocket may be a suitable alternative.

  The aerolift fills some needs, but does solve the problem of having 
	


no hangars available. Most people do not want to share a private 

hangar with an aerolift.
