I once watched a Bonanza back into it's hangar. The plane sure isn't
built for backing up, but the concrete ramp from the taxiway to the
hangar door was on a downhill incline,
remote control opener to open his hangar door, and rolls backwards
from gravity into his hangar and closes the door once inside all
without leaving the aircraft.

I always figured if I was building a homebuilt I would investigate some
relatively small motor/brake assemblies that are used on smaller electric
automobiles. May be WAY too heavy, but they make great brakes that don't
fade with heat ... *AND* you could just taxi out of the hangar (before
starting the engine).
