Wood Support AKA...stands to start your motor and hold your model.

I received a few photos from Raiko Potter's, model airplane "stylist" extraordinaire, new model stands and they look very nice. Raiko has taken the functionality of the Japanese solutions and added his unique flair. It is my understanding that he will have a very detailed "Signature" version as well as a value priced version. Based on the current currency exchange rate and shipping to the US, Raiko's will be quite inexpensive for their quality and design. One detail is the padding material he has sourced for the cradle edges.

The primary function of a stand of this design is to relieve the pressure and stress from the conventionally used devices which capture the tail. Personally, much of my practice is by myself using a very quality product from J & L of Wisconsin which captures the stabilizer.

I will post pictures of Raiko's solution as they are available.
