    Seawall solutions

    I have seen the bat cave video and leaning toward the ramp idea.

    Width of ramp and degree of incline at bat cave?

    Any other solutions to get the icon off the water and into hanger with a seawall to contend with?


    Thanks

    I have a 14’ wide concrete ramp at my place at TS70. I have found that a 15% slope is fine for the A5. Since my hanger is quite a ways up the ramp I usually set the brakes and chock it after getting my A5 just safely out of the water . Then I use an airplane tug to pull it the rest of the way to the hanger - to keep the noise levels down.

    My biggest issue with my ramp is that it is not favorably aligned with the prevailing winds quite often. It can make it quite challenging to get back onto the ramp after flying. Name:  IMG_3540.jpeg

    Curious about location of the ramp you have for sale and is it in sections and transportable.

    Thanks
