Default Bungee Cargo Net

I too used the same type of bungee cord cargo net that tailskid uses. I now have a 4-runner, but I wish I had my old pickup back. I had two nylon cords tied to the cargo hooks in the front of the bed. The cords were attached to the back of the bed with dog leash clips. The bungee cargo net has hooks that slid down the nylon cord. It put just enough tension on the models to keep them in place and not damage them. Very versatile, worked with everything from .40 sized trainers up to 100" warbirds. I did have to slide the wings into an old sleeping bag to keep them from sliding around some.
