Hi everyone,

Due to the astromical hangar rates at my local airport, and the fact that they don't even have tie-downs, has caused me to expand my horizons beyond Zenith and KR2's and start looking at QUICK (5-10 min) and CHEAP (say $20-25k finished) 2-seat folding wing aircraft. Here's what I've found so far, please chime in with more options if you know of any -- plans built or kit, either would be an option:

Fisher Dakota Hawk or Horizon
Sky Raider Super
Ridge Runner 3

Any that I'm missing? I thought maybe a Sonerai but how quickly do those wings fold? I'd want something that won't drive me crazy to do 2-3x per week. Thanks!
