Hangar collapsed at Petit

[Triker]

This makes me sick to the stomach. I keep on coming back to this thread,viewing the photo's just too find that this is a bad dream!

I was at Petit this Tuesday and cannot believe this is how its looking now. All the best to those that had damage to property. Makes me feel ill. Just too think that my aerie with the brand new wing was standing in Jenya's hangar two weeks ago..
My heart goes out to Jenya and the rest of the aircraft owners.

That hanger is now definitely gone, Jenya moved his equipment to a hanger at the other end of the runway but it will take at least another month for him to be up and running again.

This will have a bit of a negative impact on his business!

Somewhere in the foreseeable future, like so often in the past, I will need Jenya’s considerable expertise to repair some hanger or other damage to my airy.

I have decided to buy 2 x hours of labor from him for this inevitable occurrence. Somewhat like an insurance policy for when something hits the fan but without the middle man taking a commission.

The going rate for this excellent service is R 400.00 per hour. I strongly recommend other likeminded pilots that will sometime in the near future need repairs to their trikes prepare themselves for the financial impact of this sad but unavoidable moment by pre paying at a known rate.

Like everything else, this rate can only go up so this might be the best investment you will ever make. At least you will not lose any money and the health of your trike will be in good hands.
