I cant find a hangar.

I’m guessing 1000 sq ft for standard t hangar? So $275,000 construction costs?

Sounds about right. Need to also include engineering into that which would have to be conducted through the Airport’s on-call engineers.

So $2,750 per month is what it should rent for?

No, assuming it’s a land lease, it should only be an annual payment for the length of the lease.

Hi Gang,
I have been on a tie down for over a year. I just found out that if one becomes available, it will now be 600 per month. I'm not sure that I want to pay that even if one becomes available. That said, can I hear from people that have been on a tie down long term? Is my plane going to get destroyed? I live in Massachusetts, so we get all kinds of weather.
Love to hear from those that have experience with this.
Thanks very much!

I would immediately have the airframe corrosion treated. This is an inside treatment that will probably cost you $1000 in your area.

If you want to fly 12 months a year, you need a way to preheat the engine.

Consider a solar charger to keep the battery up.

I suggest using an odor detergent such as peppermint oil or mothballs to deter mice, Both can be placed in vented plasticity bags.

An aircraft cover for the glass will protect the glass and interior.

You can buy wing covers for winter so you don’t have to remove frost and ice.
