Default RE: Plane Stands

I built this stand the day after I saw this thread. I gotta say its a great idea, and thanks to everyone for their input. I would like to pass along a couple of things that I had to find out the hard way. PVC cement dries FAST. Its almost instant. I thought that I could cement a few pieces at a time and then go through and square everything up. Consequently, I have one crooked leg. Its not really noticable (except to me), but I will know better next time. Another thing to think about is planning ahead. I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to build before I started, but I didn't draw up any plans. When I put it together, I made sure that the stab would be above the wing. It is - unless the plane is inverted, then I have to slide the wing ahead. Thanks again for the tips, and hope my screw-ups keep someone else from making the same mistake.



All I have is a crappy web-cam, sorry about the resolution.
