I've just bought one on the flea-market, but it's to big for my garage.
What can I do now ?

Used B-52 garages soon will be available in Rapid City, SD.

Think you might have to go to the BBC over here in the UK!
They do a really nice "little" thing called a Tardis, which is bigger
on the inside than the outside. They way you could fit it in a corner
of your garden, put the B52 in, and still have room to swing a cat about...
:-)
Regards, Malcolm..
PS. for those that don't know the Tardis is "owned" by Dr Who........

1. Bomb Iraq - allegedly statisfying
2. Bomb George Bush - equally satisfying depending
on your political allegiance
3. Purchase the Nevada desert - can think of anyone
else who would want it
4. Exchange it for a Ventus 2ct - still won't fit in
your garage but much less expensive to fly
5. Fit loads of tow hooks - tow every Ventus 2ct in
the US at the same time
6. Fit one tow hook - tow a metal monstosity aka Schweizer
2-32
(Might need Jato bottles as well)
Is that enough to go on with?

I guess that's before he gives away £3bn to the a certain French President?

It would make a great clubhouse, or a wind tee!
Say, is it still a fact that when someone uses the "adjective (famous
name)" combination, that Don used in his replies to this thread, that
strange things start to happen to your phone, computer, and life, for a
while. I understand that combination of words, raises a flag if used on
the www.
Don, let us know, will you. Just curious!

Ohhh baby, take the engine pods off, and turn that Buff into the Mother
of all 2-32s!
Its even got training wheels under the wings, like any real Schweizer
would.
The trick would be finding that C-141 with the tow hitch (the one used
to aero tow the F-106 a few years ago).
Or else rounding up a big bunch (tribe?) of Pawnees....

Now that's a scary statement considering that Schweizer never made any
good gliders...
(Sorry - I couldn't resist)

Check out "find messages by this author" on google groups!
I say he'd fit nicely in the soaring community ;-)

It will fit into the garage, you are just doing it wrong.
1. Remove cat and Yugo from garage.
2. Fly B-52.
3. Over garage, point nose straight down.
4. With enough speed, it will fit.
5. If you did not file a flight plan, that will be reported as the cause of
the crash.
Take off the engines. In that case in a gliding society we can be of
service. Now unfortunately not. Good luck.

Thoughts on the comment below.
1/ So supposing we take the engines off, and then get the C of G back to
where it should be?
2/ Does anyone know of a 4 mile wide thermal to get lift from, or do we
have to tow it to some wave? Guess we would need a war ship towing into a
100 kt wind to do a winch launch!
3/ So just what would it glide angle be in this configuration? It's got
huge and efficient wings (but at what airspeed) for a start!
