It is almost time to make my neighbors very happy and move my plane to the airport. I went to the airport today to reserve a tiedown spot for August 1, but the spots that were $50 when I checked six months ago are now $75. I did find something on the other side of the airport for $60 a month, but they do maintenance there and they won't allow me to even remove my cowl on the ramp. I won't even be allowed to wash the plane on the ramp soon because the city is building a washing area and I will need to go there and pay to use it.
I am checking with some of the hanger owners to see if I can get some kind of day rental rate so I can do maintenance. Can anyone give me some idea on how often I can expect to have to work on something if I am flying four or five hours every weekend? I am going to have a cover made to keep the UV off the plane and keep it dry. Is there anyone else that doesn't keep their KR in a hanger?
