I am a military pilot new to GA, and looking to buy my first airplane. I have found an RV-4 that I like a lot, is in the right price range, and is owned by someone who I can tell has done a great job taking care of it. My only problem is that all of the airports within a reasonable distance of where I live don't have any hangar space. One of the airports has tie-down space available for $30/month, and I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with tying down their plane until they can get through on a hangar wait list. I live in the greater Raleigh area, if that is of any consideration as well.
From what I've read so far, a cover and gust lock are the minimum mandatory items to have for a tie down, but I'm more wondering if I'm crazy for even considering this. Thanks!
