Hi Peter
FWIW I used to fly a Rans S6 many years ago which had folding wings/tailplane.
It was the only way we could get hangarage.
It was a relatively simple rig/de-rig and it was a the airfield but it really
took
a lot of the joy out of flying. It also meant that when you might go flying
locally for an hour on a nice summers evening the whole rigging issue clouded
that.
As Bud Yearley regularly reminds us flying aircraft isn't cheap and penny
pinching
is a recipe for disaster.
All things considered I would never consider keeping an aircraft at home. If I
couldnt afford it I would buy a share in a syndicate machine or find another
cheaper
way to fly such as paramotor, paraglider, hag glider.
Kind Regards
Steve Ivell

Subject: Europa-List: TriGear - storage at home vs on an airfield
Do we have any owners on the forum who keep their aircraft at home on a regular
basis.
Weve just bought a Tri-gear and are trying to make the final decision on where
to keep it.
Fully appreciate that it would involve rigging/de-rigging on every flight day
but
the difference in cost is substantial.
Would be interested in personal experiences.
Many thanks
