I have an opportunity to purchase some land with access to a grass airstrip - this could be a dream come true. Does anybody have recommendations for hanger companies to talk to (or experience using general contractors to build this type of structure). If there are companies that work with us ordinary 'Experimantal' folks rather than millionaires or corporations for modest buildings, the information would be really appreciated. I have a family, demanding day job and Sonex project - so building a hanger myself would probably be stretching myself way too thin. Many Thanks Steve Are there any chicken farms in your area, & are building codes lax or non-existent for 'outbuildings'? If the answer to both is 'yes', ask the chicken farmers who builds their houses. (Same principal for shelters for other animals.) Having said that, for a Sonex/RV-x size a/c you can build everything except the slab yourself in a month or two using 4x4's, 'Z' channel purlins & metal roofing. A door would probably double the time estimate, but if you have 3 sides enclosed you're 95% done for sheltering the plane (unless you're in a really hostile climate, like north of the Willie Dixon Line).
