Plane Stand Plans
 

Anyone ever seen any plans for building a plane stand with PVC and Foam?

Don't have any plans but have a picture. Doesn't look to hard to figure out.

May want to do a search as there are a few good threads here on Plane Racks and Stands. I know one good one was going around about a month ago. :)

Royalty Wanted?
 

Hey Dave...

Are you going to want any royalties if I build that stand for myself? :p

Sure just a mere 100,000 per stand... maybe this way i can retire.... never can seem to win the lotteries.

It was just a pic of a stand that is actually sold by someone who sells them on Ebay. Can't see a there being a patent on it, so build as many as you would like.

trial and error
 

I've built some pretty cool stuff out of PVC pipe using the trial and error method, no plans at all. I built a workbench plan stand that has a flat side, a V-side, and a side with one flat and one V. Build two identical ends and connect them with the appropriate length PVC in the middle. It hold the airplane beautifully in any configuration for installing radio gear, engines, covering, etc. The pipe insulation is a nice cushion.

I built a car rack that holds wings and airplanes without the hangar rash I use to get from just throwing them in the trunk.

As far as I'm concerned, PVC is too cheap and too easily taken apart and rebuilt to do anything about preparing plans. After all it doesn't have to fly! It's an erector set for big boys. Just start cutting and fitting and cutting and fitting. Glue it together only when you're satisfied.

A search for plane stands will turn up some photos of other others' creations.

Good luck
