Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member here, and have a quick question about the the STI folding wings.

I am currently and airline guy, and have not flown anything with a propeller in over 20 years. I'm going to change that soon.

My long term plan is to start construction in 8 to 10 years, to be ready to fly when I retire.

In the meantime, I have recently moved to the country and I now have a large steel building. I have 46' x 47' of space that will be framed in with 10' ceilings. There will be an upstairs that will become my man cave. Due to that, I am guessing I will have multiple columns and possibly some specialized trusses. I will be consulting with an engineer before construction.

I plan to fly and hangar the airplane at my house. I will have to fold the wings to get an airplane into my shop. Here is my question: Should I build enough open space on the 1st floor to allow unfolding of the wings?
