M20 Ogler Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 I was thinking this might work since one is low wing and one is high wing. Anyone here try it?
Hank Posted July 30 Report Posted July 30 Should work. I used to share one with an A36 Bonanza and a bass boat. 1
IvanP Posted July 31 Report Posted July 31 Yes. I had my E sharing such hangar for few months with C-182. Worked fine, but required some finesse when maneuvering the planes around. WIth C model you should have no issues. 1

Unless there are other things in the hangar, if you do it right, you could fit three single engine airplanes in a 50x50 hangar (2 high wing/1 low wing or vice versa), Someone who is really talented may even be able to fit four. 1 1

Whoever parks by the door will have to be moved to let the other plane(s) get out and in. Bos and 182s are heavy and difficult to move, they leave me out of breath by the time I push it out of the hangar, move my C then put the other plane back. Discuss whether one plane will park by the door all the time, or if you can push the other plane back in when you land, versus pull it out, push yours in, then push the other plane back in by the door. 1

This. I kept a Mooney and a DA42 in 40x50 with no drama. Another stretch had a Mooney, a DA40, and an HK36 motorglider in there. That was cheating, though, because the motorglider wings folded back to a very narrow, maneuverable package. I miss that aircraft. a little time with graphic paper and airplane outlines will prove it out. -dan 1 1

You can draw the hangar and move cutouts of the airplanes around, but sometimes you just have to put the airplanes in and move them around. 2 2 1

And, that photo memorializes the last time those planes didn't have a SCRATCH on them 1
Steve Dawson Posted July 31 Report Posted July 31 My hangar is 46x53 and it fits my mooney and a 172 (as well as 3 seadoo's in winter) with lots of room to move around. My hangar neighbour has the same size hangar and he has his arrow with a 140 Cessna and an RV 6 in it. 1
wombat Posted July 31 Report Posted July 31 I've had my Mooney and my 182 in my 50' X 50' hangar for quite a while. No problem at all, other than the fact that I also have a car and a 12 X 20 room in the corner. And two couches. And 4 tables. And a snowplow. 1
laytonl Posted July 31 Report Posted July 31 I have my Mooney, Citabria, and my son’s ski boat in my 50x50 hangar. The taildragger is a little difficult since the tail cannot be moved over something lower such as a wing or boat trailer. Works fine though. Lee 1

Push one into a back corner and you'll have plenty of room for the second airplane. As has been said, you'll need to reshuffle them when you want to get the "back" airplane out. I have a friend's V-tail Bo in my hangar with my Bravo, plenty of room.

My hangar is 60x50, but here it is with 3 airplanes in it. 2 Mooneys, one long body (Bravo) and one mid body (J), along with a CH2000 and a "work in progress" experimental. Plenty of room.
