Status: offline 		Does anyone have any drawings or input on the best way to store planes in my workshop.  I have plenty of space and am looking for a way to safely store the fuselages and wings of my planes.  Links to pictures would be great
thanks
Irvin

Status: offline 		As pictured. Nylon straps attached to ceiling. Micros stay in the box. These are about 1/2 of my larger planes.

Status: offline 		I went to the hardware stores and picked up some of those adjustable shelving racks and some PVC pipe insulation and use these to store my planes in my plane room. This works quite well for me as my plane room is a tad bit on the small side. Still trying to figure out where to hang my electric planes for now.......

Status: offline 		My storage is mostly 3/4 PVC pipe covered with foam insulation. The type of hanger depends on the wing style or fuselage size. Planes with fixed wings get a simple inverted "Y" hanger. Those with detachable wings that will fit in the eves are hung on spaced racks & the wings on wall racks. Bigger planes are mounted individually along the wall. Large biplanes with wing wire are hung from the ceiling by hooks & wide velcro straps. Probably have less then $30 invested in the whole thing.
