Default RE: Which assembly stand do you use?

I build a seperate (custom) stand for each jet out of PVC tubing and fittings that you get at Lowes or Home Depot. Many elbows, T's, corner pieces, etc, are available to make a stand that fits that particular jet exactly. Also, I don't bother using PVC cement/primer .... I just use thin Zap .... it flows into the joints nicely (you can't get the pieces apart if you tried). I then use the foam pipe insulation to cover the areas of the PVC that will topuch the airplane. Bob
