Ok the cat is out of the bag!

These stands will be available before Christmas in limited quantities.

This entire adventure is a collaboration between myself and Mike Hester. He and I talked at the D2 Championship and we decided to try and make stands that rivaled the Japanese stands.


What brought my interest in these stands was two fold. I'd used the common screw driver in the ground with a strap. Until I broke the stab loose in my Focus. The strap was just too much pull on the stab for a run above 1/2 throttle. I also had a strap scare me one day when it wasn't tight and the airplane rolled forward on start up, I reached around the nose to grab the airplane and instantly got into the prop tip. I wasn't cut but had 5 nice welts on the soft portion of my forearm, it was that close. That was it, I was done with the straps.

So after meeting Mike and talking a bit we decided to join forces and try to come up with a stand that would work well, look good and be the best over-all design on the market.

Mike and I figured the stands you see the Japanese use are almost directed solely towards Pattern Planes. They were not adjustable to any real extent. So we knew we had to make ours EASILY adjustable for the Pattern flier and the local sport flier for a broader appeal.

Mike is a hard Master and demands perfection, anyone that has bought one of his kits or airplanes knows what I'm talking about. Well after several prototypes I've come up with something he actually likes. I assure you he won't put his seal of approval on something that's not up to his standards.

I think we've done it.


Mike should have the info up on his website in the next two weeks or so for pricing and ordering.
