A conventional, garage style overhead door. Insulated of course.

How wide Coon?

That was my next question too.

Just a basic 40'. Doubt I could get one wider.

Ok. Didn't know you could get them even that wide. Congrats. Looks great!

this one is near State College, PA

It was news to me too. I went with the overhead for quick and easy open/close, and for its classy look. The hangar building also contains a commercial mead tasting room, and I wanted my customers to see a nice looking building when they pull up to it.

That's cool! Where at?

I agree. lol. The tasting room is located about 10 miles east of Bismarck, ND. http://www.bearpawwine.com

Concrete work out of the way... soon the big door will be installed.

My daughter and I erected this R&M steel hanger five years ago. BC Contractors poured the foundation. Bought a Kenworth 8 yard mixer to pour the pad this summer. Will install hydronic heating, run coolant lines and install a marine manifold on the diesel electric genset providing power to the community. 3 phase panel ready for instal. Closed cell foam machine....need 5 sets of the two part polyurethane foam.
Taxi way is to the left, 5k' runway about 700' away.

Well, Not a great picture of the hanger really, and it's not much of a hanger, but it is where we keep our fun stuff. This is after a evening of flying around enjoying some burgers on the grill. Oh, I guess the grill is hidden behind the ultralight, but you get the idea.

So, a big diesel genset running 24/7, with all those cooling system BTU's being wasted? That is a shame, I like your idea better, free heat in effect, as long as the diesel isn't over cooled, it won't know the difference or run less efficiently. The best thing about radiant floor heat: the water doesn't care where the BTU's come from, my own system uses a combination of hot water home made wood fired boiler, solar hot water panels, and a electric boiler. You have access to a Grainger's? Guess so....Everything you may need for controls, if any,aquastats, differential thermostats, circ pumps, is there. A good outfit also for hydronic related equipment is www.SupplyHouse.com. I love hydronic systems, been messing with home brewed ones for going on 40 years, and would never go back to forced air (except in the summer)! In addition to my muffler cabin heat system on my Rotax powered S-7, I also have a cabin controlled diverter valve that shunts the hot fluid to a car type heat exchanger with a fan under the panel, so more heat inside plus I get total control over the engine temps in cold weather/faster warm ups, fun stuff.

FINALLY. Something to look at besides a foundation. Woo Hoo!

Great pictures everyone. It also looks like your hangars are making progress!

Will probably source the Pex tubing and fittings from REE in Anchorage. Pulling heat now from the jacket water to heat the shop and store.

Above link for a great article on a hanger in Maine, you should check out the picture, VERY nice

Almost all moved in.

Well it's basically finished on the outside.

Coondawg, can I ask how much the roll up door cost u?

Agree 100%. I have sliders on the rental hangar at GXY. Last winter, after spending an hour chipping the ice out of the lower track (a groove cut in the concrete, in which "guides"welded to the bottom of the door frames keep the doors from swinging), I still couldn't move the doors more than a few feet by hand, so I tied onto my car with a nylon tow strap--ended up breaking the doors loose, but at the cost of bending the lower door frame of one of them. Absolute pain in the wazoo.
