Personally, I would not want to fly any type of single engine aerie at night. Any need for an emergency landing is not likely to end well over a darkened landscape. Bundy, its very simple really.

Re: Hanger space - non payment tenants.

Same happened to me a few years back. Same scenario....no response or just empty promises.
Parked his aerie outside and the same day money was in my account. Two days later he was gone out of my hangar with all arrears paid up.
