NickGilbert Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Hi All, I'm in the process of buying an aeroplane and would like to hangar in the Adelaide Hills somewhere - not really too fussy where. Anyone got any leads? Thanks for reading! Cheers - Nick.

Anyone got any leads? Thanks for reading! Cheers - Nick. What are you buying? I have just built a home for my plane, but it's really only bush plane suitable. Also neighbours are a bit precious. I did hear rumours that the guy who owns woodside is interested in building (or letting others) build a few more hangars now that Aerotech are leaving. I'd be interested in investigating that with you if it's true. ie splitting the cost of either renting or building one. I looked into Callington but had no luck. So really Woodside is about the only decent option. Everything else is about 40 minutes away (Murray bridge, Rollos, Aldinga) 1
johnm Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 give the neighbours a bottle of scotch and a bottle of sweet sherry every Xmas, Nick the'll eventually weaken and think that noisy thing you fly in ............. is bloody marvellous
nickduncs84 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 give the neighbours a bottle of scotch and a bottle of sweet sherry every Xmas, Nickthe'll eventually weaken and think that noisy thing you fly in ............. is bloody marvellous haha I'm not too sure about that. I'm not too worried anyway. The council already looked into all the legalities looking for a way to shut me down and found nothing. I also usually fly during the week when people are at work, so can't imagine they would hear me more than a handful of times a year for a matter of a few seconds. I think a few of them freaked out when they first saw me but have now realised that it's not a big deal. 1
NickGilbert Posted September 28, 2016 Author Posted September 28, 2016 Cheers for the reply Nick. Where is your strip? I've bought an RF5B Sperber. It's a 17 metre span touring motorglider, but the wings fold inboard of the ailerons so it does t take up as much room as you'd think. What are you buying?

You can't miss it if you're driving from Hahndorf to Mount Barker. On the right hand side of the road on a hill. It's not really a strip. Just a 200m paddock on a hill!
NickGilbert Posted September 28, 2016 Author Posted September 28, 2016 I do that drive every day & have never noticed! On the paechtown side of the freeway? I'm between Hahndorf and Mount Barker.

nickduncs84 Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I do that drive every day & have never noticed! On the paechtown side of the freeway? On mount barker road, about 1.5km past Beerenberg. It's at the Hahndorf Farm Barn if you're familiar with that. As you come around the windy section after the dog kennels you will see it on the right.
NickGilbert Posted September 28, 2016 Author Posted September 28, 2016 Nice work! I'll have a look next time I'm on the road. What do you fly? On mount barker road, about 1.5km past Beerenberg.
