Default Hangering the plane

The rainy day in Texas provided an opportunity to provide hanger space for the recent completion. My garage ceiling had two areas remaining and one was large enough for the plane and the other long but narrow.

The plane got the same hanger design that I've used for several years for planes with a wing tube. Picture will make it self explanatory.

It is a very simple yet very easy to store. There is no tieing up or lines to let down or anything... just set the wing tube in the grooves and let the vertical stab touch the ceiling to balance.... it couldn't be easier and the plane is completely above most peoples head.

I was out of areas for wings however having all ready used the door opening over every possible door without going to the living area and there was no more wall space. The long narrow area near the garage opener and ceiling light would work with a little creativity. The end result in the pic below and again, it seems self explanatory.

Thank you - very nice approach. I'd have to lower the car's antenna first.

cool, but I hope you never decide you want to paint your ceiling!
