Does anyone have a steel or modular tube building in the hot south where they build their plane? - Zenith Aircraft Builders and Flyers2024-03-28T17:24:07Zhttps://zenith.aero/forum/topics/does-anyone-have-a-steel-or-modular-tube-building-in-the-hot?commentId=2606393%3AComment%3A745255&feed=yes&xn_auth=noYes, closed cell foam is expe…tag:zenith.aero,2020-10-06:2606393:Comment:7458482020-10-06T15:33:47.085ZAdrien Le Floc'hhttps://zenith.aero/profile/AdrienLeFloch
<p>Yes, closed cell foam is expensive and quite ugly. I still want to do it. $4000 for the walls and roof of a 30X 30. In South Florida, there is just no other way. If I lived out of a hurricane zone I would put some really fast growing trees that might provide shade. Black olive is huge and will easily cover a 50 foot span if planted on both sides. might take a few years to get the height but they grow fast.</p>

<p>Adrien,</p>
<p>I built mine here in Alabama in a 50 x 80 metal Quonset building. Yes hot and humid in the summer (big floor fans) and cold in the winter (bundled up and plugged in the coffee pot). The building is too big to economically insulate or control the climate. I have considered building a large inner room inside my metal building that could be insulated, heated, and cooled...future project?</p>

<p>I built my 601XL in a 2 car garage that had other stuff I it also. Once wings were done I built a rack so I could store tools under them. A friend build a scratch build 601HD in a 1 car garage that was a bit longer. I was a tight fit and not sure where he stores his wings. </p>

<p>My Cruzer is on the gear; wiring the panel/fuselage now, then just have to hang the engine. I'm in a 20x20 garage. Still have the 4'x12' workbench in there as well. Two 3'x6' shelves in an "L" configuration in one corner, the workbench, wings in an EAA wing rack against one side of the workbench, and the fuselage on an angle next to the wings. Can walk around 3 sides of the fuselage; left and right sides and front. Tight, but workable.</p>
