Arm Aerospace Aircraft Lift Addresses Expensive And Diminishing Hangar Space

Recognizing that hangars are scarce and hangar fees are steadily escalating, especially in large metropolitan areas, ARM Aerospace of Tucson (AZ) has come up with an innovative solution that doubles the storage capacity of any existing hangar.  They have created The Aero-Lift a cantilevered lift that makes it possible to store two airplanes in almost any hangar by lifting one aircraft into the air and using the empty space underneath to store an additional aircraft (or a car or a boat). Already adopted by a number of FBOs, general aviation and sport aviation pilots and aeroclubs, the lift Aero-Lift has met with an enthusiastic response in the United States and overseas.

This AD requires you to inspect any upper and lower wing strut attach fitting nut for existence of the corresponding cotter pin and do any necessary corrective action.
