small hangar
So hangar space is getting harder to get in my area. The airpark is open to small portable hangars that can be easily moved, so I am thinking of building a 12 x 40 building with a full floor and sliding doors. We build oilfield shacks on slip skids all the time, so the build isn’t really a factor.
Will a trike fit in a 12 x 40? My trike is already put away for the season, but the carriage is 10.5 from front to prop, would a 17meter wing fit in it without being broke down? Also 12 x 40 is outside measurements. I would appreciate any comments.

Hi Blair, I assume we are talking about sliding in sideways? The 40′ is plenty wide/long since your wing span is right around 34 feet. The wing is very close to 12′ tip to nose. The angle of the wing will have a lot to do with the overall length on the trike since it will get shorter as it gets taller when the bar is moved forward. But I don’t have a machine here to play with and measure with that wing at the moment. If the door is on the side, how wide is the door? And how tall? A 14’X14′ door opening would probably be ideal with some room to spare so you don’t get hangar rash going in and out.
