Foam plane cradle/stand
Does anyone know the name of the foam stand that is used to put you plane in while installing servos etc. There is not much to it. I thought it was a name like HOBART or something like that. I looked on the Tower Web site and couldn't find it. Any ideas.
Thanks
Ron

There was a nice push back airplane holder in the Marketplace under classifieds. You may want to seek that one out if it's still available.

There is a cheap substitute available at Walmart or almost any variety store or market. Just buy one of the foam ice cooler chests and cut it to fit your model. If you are going to use it only once you can throw it away and only be out about $1.50 or so. I have one for a EP sailpane that has to be inverted to replace the batteries and upright to rubber band the wings.

I have one, and use it for just about everything. My workbench is not that big due to space limitations, but this helps to raise the plane up off of the bench so I have more space under it. Be careful though. I spilled something on it (not sure what) and it melted the foam. Still able to use it though.
