I hang mine from the garage ceiling with Racor bike lifts/straps and also on the wall with shelving mounts...

Bike lift - In order for the plane to be raised evenly, the one piece rope has to be threaded in a different way as shown in the diagram.

Bike lift mount with locking mechanism - You have to dremel out the hole to accommodate doubling up the rope. I filed it down and also spayed the opening with plasti dip...

Keep the wheels - Remove the nylon lock nut and throw away the black hooks. You'll need 2 spring links per plane. Fasten 1 eyebolt to each wheel with the nut and nylon lock nut. Clip the spring link to the eyebolt.

The 2 straps to hold the fuse were cut from ratchet tie downs and then grommets were set up in the ends. Hook the straps to the spring links.
