Default carousel hangars

I would also contact Ed Byars (ED).

Ed designed and built a carousel hangar to house his power planes over twenty years ago at his home outside of Clemson, SC. Ed is a professional engineer and retired as Dean of Mechanical Engineering at West Virginia University. He is widely known for his love of competition soaring and was the co-founder of Soaring Symposia along with Bill Holbrook (WH).

Soaring Museum at Moriarty.


Does anyone out there know of it? Does it still function? Are there any


drawings available? did it throw up any snags? did the design ever get


patented? Anything to help us make up our minds if it would be a good


project.


Make sure to ask Ed about his "Dial a Plane" control system that
automatically brings a specific spot into the door position. Ed calls
his design for obvious reasons the Pentagon Hangar.
