It seems the asphalt patch stuff would be very cost prohibitive. It is $15 for 50 lbs, and I would need at least 500 lbs to seal the entire exterior of the hangar. There already seems to be a bit of a berm along the outside, but it has cracked away from the siding. I am now leaning toward trying...

So the Great Stuff expanding foam did not work at all. I had a good bead all around the inside of the hangar. I even made sure to spray a lot under the beams where there was a gap. It seemed to adhere to the asphalt pretty well. I think the deteriorating asphalt is just too porous for the...

I certainly like the idea of building up a bit of an asphalt berm. It seems like a more solid solution than spray foam. However, I think the FBO would not appreciate me pouring asphalt on their ramp. I suppose I can always go talk to them. I'm not even sure where I would go to get asphalt, and...

Great idea with the spray foam. I hadn't thought of that. Do you think it will adhere to the asphalt?

I will get some pictures when I am at my hangar tomorrow morning. To clarify a bit, I have started to remove the dirt and debris from around the hangars. I suspect this will help some with the standing water, but not completely solve the problem. The gap I am talking about is around the...

I am looking to get some ideas on how to seal the bottom of a T-Hangar. It is a privately owned T-Hangar that sits atop the ramp which is slightly uneven and somewhat deteriorating asphalt. It doesn't rain much here in California, but when it does, the water seeps under the T-Hangar walls and...

The hangar in question is at a busy class D airport with a rather large GA presence, mostly jets. There are 4 privately owned T Hangars that have been set on an area of the ramp that is unused but owned by a large national FBO. The hangar owners pay the FBO to lease the ramp area for their...

Thanks for the info on those rubber mats. Those are indeed exactly what I was talking about. The asphalt is cracking, crumbling, and deteriorating. I guess I'll browse some sketchy carpet stores for super cheap remnants. Anyone have any idea of how to keep it somewhat held to the asphalt?

I recently started renting a T-Hangar that I got a great deal on, and best of all, is maybe 30 steps away from where I work. The only problem is that it is sitting on top of some pretty old and degrading asphalt. I am contemplating a cheap floor covering to spruce it up a bit. I have thought of...

The Sonex is about as close as you will get for a faster LSA under $30k. Wings don't fold but the factory says they remove or install in 10-15 minutes. Owners say it takes about double that time. Still not all that long. http://www.sonexaircraft.com/documents/instruction_sheets/wing_install.pdf

Wow you guys would go crazy seeing us hot fuel a helicopter solo then. It's in our GOM and approved by the FAA. I'm not saying it is without additional risk, nor am I saying the risk is worth it in his case, I don't know the full details. But it can be accomplished safely.

The material really is the key factor. Those aluminum blind rivets sold at the hardware store, or that come with the hand riveter are by far weaker than the stainless steel rivets used in kits like the Sonex. There really is no comparison.

Here is a pretty good clue for you. As Brad is trying to tell you, it was probably TIS data of your own aircraft. So ADS-B In probably did not "save your bacon." I would wager instead that it had you doing some aggressive maneuvering while taking screenshots with 2 hands.

Why buy a new kit? I highly suggest finding a second hand kit with very little actually built. These are for sale all the time. Some haven't even been started, however you will find a lot with maybe a little of the tail built. These sell for 50% the price of a new kit. Make sure to inspect the...

Oh man, that's comedic genius.

Main landing gear tires one would assume.

Onwards, If you have something that contradicts this, then go ahead and quote it, or in some way please show a reference.

Are you even reading the responses? He straight told you the CFR this violates.

WT actual F are you doing? Illegal, waste of time and money, and seriously weird man. And to top it all off, I am most certain no one read more than 4 words of your "mission" narratives, so chalk that up as an hour or two additionally wasted. My advice, if you want to play army, go talk to a...

Seriously? He said he had 45 minutes left. Well above VFR reserve and meets the club requirements. Better reserves? What do you suggest?
