It has become very obvious to me that storing an aircraft is one of the more difficult aspects on being an aircraft owner.
I see several options, but not all of us are fortunate enough to have the choices other owners may have access to.
Choices I have seen are; hanger (private owned or shared), trailer (pack away and store at home), or open airfield storage (with tie downs and uv covers).
The airfield option is the cheapest, but is it really wise to do this? I have been thinking it may not be all that bad, unless there is a wild storm that could rip off the covers and flip the aircraft.
All the options have disadvantages and advantages, such as damage due to sharing, or dismantling and assembling, regular transportation, or extreme weather, and related storage costs.
I also looked at the idea of storing a trike in a shipping container, but even in a 40ft shipping container there would not be enough width of height.
Any thoughts, ideas and experience you guys can share. Thanks.
