The hangar isn't finished! What's Plan B?

 We had to tie the Phoenix outside when we got home Wednesday night, because the new set of T-hangars ("T" refers to the floorplan). They are close to done, but still need the siding for the doors (as you can see); the electrical work is just more than half done. The doors need the hydraulic system flushed, pumped up, and the 7 foot long cylinders connected (two per door) to the doors.

Parking outside isn't a good idea for a finely finished composite aircraft, so Thursday, Russ and I looked for hangar space.

• Plan B was a fellow EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) member's hangar, but it wasn't big enough to hold the Phoenix without removing the wings entirely 
• Plan C was to borrow space in the former DHL hangar where the Viper Aircraft people have a small repair and production facility, but there was too much sanding dust and fiberglass fibers flying around from their work.
• Plan D was another friend's hangar that had enough space, but involved too much rearranging of other planes, equipment, and furniture (a home away from home) to make it worthwhile for the couple weeks I needed it
• Plan E  was to move into the uncompleted new hangar before they were finished, but that was scuttled by the need for an occupancy permit from the City. No chance of that until it was really done and inspected
• Plan F - ask Cliff of Sundance Aviation is he knew of any uncuppied hangar space. He made a couple of calls, and Bingo! He found a T-hangar that was empty to the end of the month, and now the Phoenix has shelter in hangar #5.

After that, Russ and I went flying, then placed the Phoenix in the hangar.
