Default RE: Wheels On Starting Stand

Just a heads up about stands. The photo is of a couple of the club members using one of our stands. We started out with the wooden type I think the instructions were in model Aviation? Then a club member started making them out of metal. At first we only had a couple so he added wheels so we could move them around, really heavy!! The back center section also is able to be extended for longer planes.
One thing we discovered about them, you put a big gasser on one it can flip even one of these over, the couple we had with wheels went over even quicker. Make sure the two vertical rails are tall enough for Bipes. We only had a couple of them I was able to use during my bipe days due to the rails and if I didn't get one with the extended center planes like my Tiger Moth were too long for them.
These stands are one of the things I really miss these days. They make an old guys life a lot easier and less painfull.
