Title: Sentinel Storage on Kennedy Road
Post by: sihinch on July 24, 2012, 11:43:11 AM
Just checked - a 4' x 5' storage until is $57 per month. Interesting alternative to annoying the family by having foam airplanes all round the house, for winter airplane storage?  5'x5' is $68.

hmmm well I guess you gotta do what you gotta do, but paying $70bucks/month just to store a few small foamies is kinda steep. That works out to almost $850/year you could spend on planes/electronics!

I have heard of some rc clubs offering on-site storage lockers?? Maybe we could look into that?

We can't build any permanent structures (with footings etc) on Rogo Field, but there must be some kind of portable secure storage option. I'm thinking of the cylindrical thing at the Oakville club that they keep everything in. If TEMAC had one of those we could keep a club generator there for charging, chairs, umbrellas, etc etc. It would take everything to the next level IMHO.

What about a rig trailer or cube van?  I can get a Cube van for cheap?  We can leave it there and just have it locked up?

I only pay 80 or somthing for outdoor storage in a secure lock up for my RV. It could hold a ton of planes but it's not heated.

Cool! Perhaps a combination lock to be shared by designated club leaders? I'm picturing the genius of being able to leave my sun shade at the field for any and all to use and to donate some umbrellas. Frequency board, bbq, etc could be stored in it. Then eventually (dare to dream) a club generator for powered charging stations, cooler, etc. Kingston has a similar electrical system setup. Wow, I'm getting ahead of myself in my excitement.
