| Subject: | Re: TriGear - storage at home vs on an airfield |
If i may offer a view:
I've owned and operated both a TriGear and now a Mono from airfields some 20-30mins
drive from home. Hangar space was not available at either (and still isn't),
and the charges are eye-watering here in the UK anyway.
So parked outside rigged during the flying season under covers and then trailered
home over winter has been the best compromise i've found - and i echo Steve
Pitts comments/reasoning on that. TriGear trailering was a bit clunky but i
borrowed one each year, the Mono trailer solution is much better so i bought one
- and it even fits inside a single UK garage on its trailer (Ivan thought of
everything).
Spend the money you would otherwise spend on hangarage or year-round parking fees
on a good set of covers and a trailer I say. You get flexibility of location
and peace of mind in the poor weather - and the chance to tinker and improve
your aircraft during those long dim winter days.
Finally, in my view ground handling during the rigging/de-rigging process offers
a much greater risk of damage to the aircraft than anything you will do when
flying, so minimising it to twice a year seems logical.

Just adding my 5c.
My tri goes together fine....9 times put of 10.
The 10th time it takes 3-5 attempts to get the wings one and up to a couple
of hours. It seems to be something to do with ones mental state.
Invariably if one is in a hurry she doesnt cooperate.
I keep mine in a hangar.

Firstly Id like to say thank you to everyone who has taken time to share their
thoughts and opinions, Ill take them all onboard.
As Ive been flying for over 30years and a group member for the last 3 years Im
acutely aware of the cost of flying and also the issues with being a group member,
it was the latter that helped me make the decision to become a sole owner.
The aircraft is currently hangared but sadly not at my local field, a 55 minute
drive each way does lengthen even the shortest of sorties.
In an ideal world having the aircraft permanently rigged and in my local hangar
would be fantastic but sadly currently not an option , Im hoping to negotiate
a hangar spot for the summer then perhaps keep the aircraft at home in an enclosed
trailer (space to store not an issue at home).
The final decision needs to work for myself but I appreciate everyones input.
Thank you again,
Pete
