Need hanger to store folded up Trike wing
Dimensions are about 18′ long and 1′ wide folded up. Would not take up much room, could be store against the wall of a hanger out of the way. It is sitting in my garage right now. Would only need storage for the wing. I can store my Sabre 340 Trike in my garage and can transport the Trike with my truck, just need a place to store my wing, difficult to transport the wing back and forth on my truck.
Thanks,
