It is a really pretty Ercoupe! I think living that close to a GA
landing strip is the way to go (we break ground this week!!)

Looks like fun! and the prices look fair also. How big is your hangar
going to be? I didn't see anything about hangars in the covenants...


According to NC building code a residential hangar is under 2,000', ours
is 1,995 or something. Of course the original larger design had
workspace IN the hangar which is now walled off, etc. So what was a
3,000' square hangar is now a 1,995' T hangar with workshop, mechanical
room, etc. walled off with fire rated sheet rock. If we went larger
than 2,000 we would have had to build it as a commercial hangar using
commercial standards. A number of the hangars in the community are much
larger and built to the commercial standards. Our covenants are much
more reasonable (IMHO) than most airparks. We can build the hangar with
apartment first and build the house later (which is what we are doing).
And the architectural review is don't build anything stupid (no
domes).It's a nice neighborhood.
