Default Airplane storage

My recently completed 50cc Extra was taking up work bench space and needed to find a permanent "roost". I didn't want to store it the way I have my other planes due to the weight of the Extra and wall space issues. I also didn't want to stand it on it's nose in the corner, because that always leads to the fuel tank clunk tube getting a permanent curve in it. So I came up with a new way that works great. Simple, cheap, effective.

I made the round metal piece that holds the upper tube, but you could use plumbers tape or strap in two locations instead. Just be sure you mount into wall studs, not just drywall or paneling. (Well, a moly screw into drywall would work for light planes like park flyers or small glow planes.)
