    Wings Folded - Storage

    I've always had room in my hangar to store my A5 without folding the wings. Well, my hangar is getting crowded, so now I'm forced to fold my wings. Is there any long-term detrimental effect from this? Are there any steps to be taken for long term, wings folded? Winter is coming...

    No issues with wings folded storage

    Hi Todd - no issues with long term wings folded storage. We do it all the time at our facilities for space constraints. However, if you wanted to be extra careful, you could purchase a wing support kit from us. It's the same one we use when trailering the aircraft and it can help prevent fatigue on the wing hang pins and also is added protection in the event someone pushed the wing release button by accident.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    I keep my A5 hangared with the wings folded as well - Signature agreed to cut the hangar fee in half since they charge by square footage.
