Nice Paint Stand Lov2flyrc. Can we see more pictures of the stand construction. Can you please post some plans so I can build one.
Thanks Jim
Jim....
Give me a few days and I'll post more detailed images and some specs.
The main point that I'd like to make here is that most guys make a paint stand for the fuse to be horizontal. Having it vertical simplifies the stand and has worked well for me. I've used this set up to paint four jets so far.
Joe,
While having the stand vertical may simplify the stand it makes painting much more difficult. The risk of sags is much greater when painting horizontal and it makes it more difficult to paint even strokes. Also, depending on your lighting, it can be difficult to see the surface your painting.
I have a building/paint stand that works even better than the PVC one made by Tom Robertson. (no longer available through Tom, see pic below), I am in the process of duplicating these stands and I will have them available in a few weeks.....
