And flying our short wings we realize how convenient it is to go = to the airport and fly, without having to rig the wings. The hangar we = rent has a 40 ft door and the MG configuration will not fit, even at an = angle or with the wing tips removed. At the SSA convention this winter we saw a small hangar design by = Ensign. The idea is a small hangar suitable for an assembled sailplane. = The hangar is purposely made as small as possible with the center = section only being 6 ft tall and the sections over the wings being only = 4 ft tall. The entire front of the hangar is a door making it easy to = put the glider into the hangar. Intrigued, I asked about modifying the = hangar to fit a Europa MG. Ensign has responded with a revised design = which will accommodate the assembled MG as well as providing space to = store the short wings (and also space to store the MG wings if you are = flying the short wings). If you are interested, I have a pdf of the proposed design. More = information on the sailplane hangar is at www.ensignhangars.com. I have = worked with Tom Rent of Stanton Sport Aviation, Stanton, MN = 952-435-2792, email tmrent@charter.net . You can see the installation = process at Stanton, MN at = http://users.goldengate.net/~tmrent/ensign/ensign1.htm We wanted to share what looks like a nice solution for housing the MG = Europa.
