Let me know when someone is going to start
his plane in the hangar. I don’t want my plane to be in that
building!

Subject: [LML] Slope of Hangar
Apron
Michael,
I bought a hangar
with an apron so steep it took two of us to push the plane up the apron, into
the hangar, even with a run at it. Then I discovered the plane could be
taxied in with a little power. I took a lot of ribbing about that but my
wife liked the fact she could get the plane in and out very easily. Keeps
the floor clean too. Just keep everything loose far, far away from the
prop. (Note, A guy at our airport tried to taxi out of his hangar and the
prop sucked in the door rope... here comes the door! We did not see him
again for 6 months, but you would never do that.)
