I'm in a similar place with the paucity of rentable LSA's and the rarity and expense of hangars here in Silicon Valley. I have worked out a temporary solution. 1) I stay with my sister in SW Ohio for two or three weeks in the spring and in the fall. This puts me within 20 minutes of the delightful Red Steward airfield where I rent Cubs and Champs ( for peanuts ) and fly every day. 2) This August I also spent two weeks in Columbus flying a Flight Design CTLS while renting lodging through AIRBNB --- to return next spring.

At the Stewart's I can only fly in circles ( they had a problem with a renter who damaged a Cub, returned it and didn't tell anybody about it. ) I do stick and rudder air work, explore the Dayton / Cincinnati / Kentucky region low and slow, and I just never seem to tire of flying around and around the pattern in pursuit of that perfect 3-point greaser.

In Columbus (schedule willing ) I'm free to rent over several nights and at 110+ knots cruise it's possible to explore America's East. The airspace in that region is busy, complicated, and a ton of fun in a high-performance aircraft with all the bells and whistles I could hope for. This year I'm expanding my checked-out airports to Florida and finally found a Champ for rent here in San Jose.

This isn't the ideal deal and I have had a couple out-of-the-box notions. I only have one-two-maybe five more years left to be a pilot. Buying a plane and storing it all winter back in Ohio or Ky, then wandering around the country for a few months is one idea. Many people have suggested getting a partner and passing the plane back an forth every few months. Good luck to you. Want to go in on an LSA for a couple years?
