Um, no. The wing, when one tire goes flat and the other is inflated normally,
comes within a quarter-inch of a 2x2 steel beam in the hangar roof. Another
quarter of an inch and I'll have a wing to replace some day. Not a good idea,
at least not for me.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:
-How unlevel is it? Just make yourself a really shallow ramp (say by
-ripping strips of 1/4" masonite and stacking/gluing them). Put that
-on the hangar floor so that you roll onto it as you park.
