That is a seriously stupid way to park a plane... With boots.... One false move, and it will be more expensive than a full year of rental of that small hangar...

:lol:

Wouldn't you love being his neighbour...

Sometimes, a larger hangar just isn't available.... anywhere within a reasonable distance..

The way to go about it is use all available space, ahead of the hangar, to finish the turn.

Then the final push back is straight in, with both wingtips entering at the same time. A centering line also makes it easier.

Major wisdom. Spray paint is your best friend. Also markings to line the tail against the back of the hangar

I think he’s only doing that, because the taxiway slope would cause the tail to hit the top of the door opening.

He needs a tug that lifts the nose.

You have 1600lb useful load on a Bo??

What on earth are you cramming in there that weighs that much!

2,368 lbs. empty weight, 4,000 lb. gross (TAT TN STC).

1,632 lbs. useful load.

I can (and have) carried 5 adults, overnight baggage (for 5) and full fuel (80 gallons).

No problem.

If a Malibu was limited to 80 gallons of fuel a typical 1,250 lb. useful load Malibu would have roughly 850 lbs. left for people and bags making it a 4 seater. Not bad, certainly.

It still won’t fit in my hangar….

The Bonanza will handle grass strips better. Malibu gear isn't suitable for Reklaw, for example.

But I too aspire for a Malibu. Having now flown a couple of weeks behind a GFC 500, I doubt I could go back to an analog autopilot.

Yes, the Malibu has FIKI certification and pressurization, but I’d be giving up about 305 lbs. of useful load by switching to a Malibu.



You sure about that? His ad shows 1333 of useful.

Egads! I misremembered.

My useful load is *only* 1,632 lbs., so I’d only be giving up 299 lbs.

4 men, 4 sets of golf clubs, 4 sets of weekend luggage and full fuel is no problem. My useful load is quite useful.

That sounds wonderful. Why do you suppose you have so much more useful load than a typical Malibu?

My home airport has a few larger hangars that come available occasionally. I may have to get on the waiting list for one of those.

I’d not want to buy a Malibu for those kinds of prices unless I could keep it hangared.

Looks like the door is narrower than the wingspan. Getting both wingtips to enter at the same time may require some disassembly..

The centering line by itself does little to position the wingtip. Better is to precisely place a line for at least one main gear tire - it then owns the wingtip position. That and "Also markings to line the tail against the back of the hangar" as noted by Charles Robertson will get the job done every time. I use a tall colorful vertical line centered on the rear wall that is readily seen while operating the nose wheel tug.

Seems like a piano dolly or wheeled platform would work well if the height allows.

1450 isn't wildly remarkable. PA46 got piggy over time. The early ones can be good.

With the G500 NXi in this plane you can't upgrade to the GFC 600 autopilot if I read the list on Garmin's web site correctly. The GFC 600 is required along with the GFC600 AP. Is that correct?
