Protect the convertible from a leaking roof? Hi Art. It’s a Kennon aircraft cover, rigged with pulleys and cords. Keeps dust off of plane. Kennon would custom manufacture them based on your aircraft brand and specified dimensions. Kennon no longer produces the covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 A hangar is like a pack, no matter what size you give a young Marine he will fill it and then some. The only issue is getting the contraband out before the yearly Fire Marshall inspections, or so I've heard!!!! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigers2007 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 If fire marshals are raiding hangars then do the same fire marshals also inspect every single storage unit in town? That all seems like massive busy-work idea to boost up someone’s resume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight8Victor Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) The owner of this hangar had his office built inside the hangar. What an incentive to spend more time at work. He kept a business jet, a Maule and a few cars in it. Edited April 13, 2020 by Eight8Victor 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me I'd put the Mooney on the bottom and let my friend use it to save myself the hassle That seems to be the path that the hangar owner / lessee took . . . . . The Mooney is "visiting".

Eight8Victor Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I recently became a dealer for Majic Stairs, We normally put these in garages and walk in closets but this is our first set we installed in a hangar. The owner had built his home and hangar 30 year ago and never had access to his storage. This was a fun day in a really cool hangar with a front and center view of the private runway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRM Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 My hangar is a bit old school. I finally got the head installed: Stole the sign (idea) from an FBO out at KSJT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Pilotte Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) You may as well just install a relief tube to prevent leaks during those low manifold pressure times. Also, forgot to add..... Don’t forget to label that bucket because you really don’t want to mistake that one for what you have in primary fermentation. Unless you’ve upgraded to a conical.
