If possible, could you please mention the make/name of a stand that will allow you to roll the plane over, or post a link to where you can get one?
Ahh, well....... no, I cannot mention the name, not because it's a secret but because I do not know if such a stand exists.

The process goes something like this. Someone like RC MAN will design one because he has a bad back, an American company will copy & refine the design & market it, another American company will sell a purple one at 10 times the price, a Japanese company will make a cheaper one that is better finished & folds more compactly then the Chinese will copy (badly) the Japanese version & sell it for less than we can buy the materials to make one because their government will subsidise the materials.

We will then argue about it on an RCU thread for weeks, the purple stand guys will tell us how they were happy to pay heaps more because Bob's a great guy & the people who bought a Chinese stand will justify their purchase because of the price despite having broken 5 models when the stand collapses & having to make modifications to get it to hang together.

Sorry............

I have built stands myself & when the need arises for one like this I guess I will have to make another. Unless someone has already. I'll think about a design. - John.
John, its not funny because it is just too true.
Seem the bussiness to be in these days is to export jobs to the chinas and import debt in return.
Then add the nutcase stock chasers and you run the risk of economic colapse. Oh sH%$#@ were already there...
