I am looking to progress my flying “career “ and after asking on my local Cheshire club site, I have been offered a very nice Mainair Blade 462 from a fellow flyer who doesn’t have time to fly it. The Blade is currently hangared 1.5 hours away from me, so not an ideal location, and I don’t know if I would be able to keep it there anyway. My issue is that I don’t have anywhere else to hangar it. It would appear that hangarage is at a premium near me (Stockport) and it has been suggested that I may be better off trying to find a local “hangar queen” of similar spec and trying to persuade the owner to sell the machine to me along with the hangarage. I do not own a trailer and my only 4 wheeler is a company vehicle that I am not permitted to alter, so no tow bar. I have looked at local syndicates, but the only one that I have found so far is a half share in a lovely Quik R, which is too expensive for me.
I am very tempted to buy the Blade but I am not sure what I can do with it if I do! Any advice gratefully received.
