Heli storage
Hello all, I have just made the leap of faith to helis, one of the problems Im haveing is a place to keep them nice and safe. I do have a nice little room in the house thats my computer room/ hobby storage room. I have a little room in there that I can build another set of shelves just for the helis. Im new at helis but ive been collecting them and getting ready for flight, my collection consist of a blade mcx2, a blade 120 sr, a blade 400, a trex 450 3d, and a thunder tiger 60 nitro setup. Not to mention all the goodies that go with each. Here is a few pics of my plane room. Im really want it something that can be built rather cheaply but strong and durable, I figure I have about 8ft x 5ft of wall left to add to. Thank you all and I hope to see and share some ideas out there somewhere.

RE: Heli storage
Here is the set-up inside my trailer, I've got horizontal shelves in my hobby room and these in my trailer. Keeps the helis tight to the wall and they fit side-by-side.
Just regular wire shelving from any hardware store. The back of the skids go into the "bent" part of the shelf and a zip tie goes over the front of the skis. I added a piece of wood to the wire self to rest the skids to keep the vertical fin from poking holes in the walls as the helis bounce dound the road. On a fixed installation I believe it is not needed.

RE: Heli storage
Thats what im talkin about right there, I think that might just do the trick. I think I would only need one peice, and then i could add some peg board next to it for all the parts and rest of the gear that would hang from it. Thank you.

Thanks but I can't claim the idea. The previous owner of the trailer (another RCers) had it done.
