Thanks for the ideas gang.
Is there a good way to hang from the ceiling each plane as well? I'm only asking because I have a two car garage in which we park two cars including my SUV for plane transportation. I'm considering the shelf method you said bigtim but my garage may not be big enough. I'm going to measure, it will be tight! I may only have the space inside the garage door opener and the back of the garage on the ceiling. Maybe I should post pictures. Thanks again bigtim.
RCKen is it ok to store fuel in the garage too. I have cool power 15% out there right now. I didn't notice any problems on the label. This is the first summer I'm going through since starting this hobby. Thanks RCKen.
yup... i don't have a pic for ya now, but will take one if you like. i just found the studs in the ceiling, then put a couple eye screws in far enough apart to accomodate just about any plane. then i took some wire (electrical insulated type) and made a loop in the end. tied one end off good on they eye hook, and tied a loop into the other end. with a little measurement or trial and error method if you are hard headed like me, i got it so the length is just right. the wires allow me to hang the plane upside down with the wheels against the ceiling. then using the same eye screws and a couple lengths of longer wire, the wing hangs lengthwise right below the fuselage. i put it right next to my workbench (which i built rock solid out of 4X4's and 3/4" particle board) which works out well, i don't have to get the ladder out to get the plane down. i just jump up on the workbench and am just able to reach it to unhook it. I have visions of a whole garage ceiling full of planes in the near future.
like i said, if ya want a pic, just let me know. oh yeah, cheap? you bet, about 26 cents if i had to guess.
