Ideas for PVC stand?
I am looking for ideas to make a rack with PVC for wings and/or small planes. It should be able to stand on the floor. My space is limited for I keep my planes in my bedroom. Besides wings, I have one small plane that I don’t disassemble since it fits like it is in my car. Any ideas or pictures of PVC rack would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Mine keep changing cuz i keep making them bigger and taller. I also have a smaller one with 1/2 pvc just like the one in the pic. I have finally glued just one of my racks after finalising the dimensions for my planes.

I use both smimming pool noodles and foam pipe insulation around the pvc to protect the planes from the hard pvc pipe and to spread the load a bit more softly.

Thanks for the pictures and informaiton from both of you.
Guver, could you please provide the pipe size and connector size you are using?
Also, do you have to glue the pieces together?
Thank You.

I use 3/4 inch pipe for all of my racks. You should secure them somehow, either by gluing or by drilling a hole and putting a screw in so it's removable. I built a similar wing rack except it's done with Tee's instead of crosses and I put a string at the top on both ends so it will hang on the wall and lay flat. The fuselages hang by their tails wherever I can find a spot.

Thanks Guver,
It's cool and so easy. You don't show pictures of the bottom. Do you just have 4 pipes on the floor to keep it from falling?
