Big jet handling/field assembly
 

Can't find much on this. Any good field assembly techniques? I ordered 2 folding stands from Harbor Freight for the field, but curious if there is something better. Also, how about for storage/working on? I tried to get a Multi-Stand form Elite Aerosports, but I don't think they are offering it anymore. Anything else like it out there?
Thanks, Jay

Someone else is selling a similar stand. I love mine, but wouldn't take it out to the field. Th auto body folding stands seem to be the best for that.

Thanks, & Please share, who else? Feel free to pm if need be

I use a folding keyboard stand.

The stand you have in that picture is sold by Marvin. It also does the CG. Looked at some at FLjets and was pretty impressed with it.

Thanks, How do I get a hold of Marvin?

The stand in Jay's post is the (Gen 2 or 3) version that Scott and Pablo used to sell. I'm not sure who made them, but maybe it was Marvin.:p

It seems incredibly useful to me, I wonder why Elite isn't producing it anymore. If I can't find it, I will copy it & make one myself, but who has time for that :(

J,

Call Todd, I think he may have one or two, but I don't remember which version.

For years I'm using construction horses ,very easy to and compact when store in trailer ,for big and smaller models ,and much better then the body shop stands .http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2155251http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2155252http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2155253

I guess we now know where they were came from...lol;)

You guys are the BEST, thank you! Sysiek, I ordered 2 of the construction horses from Harbor also. They make a lot of sense with larger planes because you can strategically place them on the formers/strong points.

Don't use the one from harbor freight the junk use Stanley from ACE the like $20 for pair .

I already ordered it last night. I think they claimed to be good to 375lbs, what makes them garbage?
FYI all, I ordered a stand from Marvin also, he still makes them.
Jay

The have bad design the stoppers are installed on the sides and the very easy to be ripped from the horse this will cost the horse to collapse ,other than the the are ok but the Stanley 's are much better.

I was lucky enough to find a cart for my jets for the field. I use it for assembly and disassembly of my jets. I use the lower shelf for the fire extinguisher and air pump with battery in a case.

This is a very well built and versatile stand for shop and field

You can also use a go kart stand; folding and capable of going over all terrain
