Why use a hanger???

Some-one asked why I haven't got GNM rigged and ready to go in the hanger at present.
Three reasons;
Firstly, the cost...my garage is free...the hanger is $1000 per year.

Secondly, who says it takes longer than 2 minutes to rig a glider out of it's trailer...just watch these guys...1 minute 40 seconds from trailer to 1200ft....

Third, damage...I've already had a winglet broken in the hanger, and I'm not always around to keep an eye on things...would you leave a $100k asset unattended with open access to the general public...let alone club members...

Having watched the YouTube video one bright spark suggested we could have "Rig the PW5" race...we have 2 of them...and if we broke one would it be missed???
