PVC tubes through 2 x 4s with pipe insulation over them



Or wood wall brackets.



Hooks hang fuselage from the wing tube



More PVC & pipe insulation.

Mine is heavy duty shelf track with foam pipe insulation on the shelf arms, you can make it for up to 18' wide wings, it's totally adjustable.

Another way is to drill holes in a 2 X 3 to fit 1/2 or 3/4' conduit at what ever distance apart you need, wrap them with the same pipe insulation, screw them on the wall to studs. Mine is a lumber and misc. rack but could be made for planes just as easy.

Thanks for the ideas I think I am going with the adjustable shelf brackets it will be easier to move the height up and down when I add new planes.
