John,Finding a cheep hanger, or one to share with another expermental orultralight sure would be a good idea. I hope I never have to take thewiings off my piet. Big hassel. Plus the safety issue of not gettingeverything just right each time you assemble it.Craig________________________________________________________________________________

Happy Slow Flying! Paris Wilcox-pezz720(at)yahoo.com>>I had the same idea when I started my project. Pulling the wings and rerigging the lift struts and wires, and connecting the aileron cables turns into a two hour project. I continued to build because I wanted to fly. Right now I am flying, but have to leave the piet out in the weather, for lack of hanger funds. Utah however is fairly dry and warm. It survived a winter and snow well. Hopefully the hanger fairy will visit soon, but till then I still have my primary goal acomplished. I guess what I am saying is don't let the unknowns stop you from persuing what you really want.Stevee________________________________________________________________________________
