I have been using this rack since my first year. It has held up for the better part of 5 years, and hundreds of trips to the field. One tip, when attaching PVC fittings, don't glue them, screw them with slef tapping screws, that way, as your fleet changes, you can change the rack. PVC pipe is cheap, but the fittings will break the bank. This rack has hauled 15 to 20 planes, ranging in size from .40, clear up to my 25 pound behemoth coroplast gasser. Sits in the back of my short box, and secures with bungee.
