Get a Grip
 
I've got a Funtana100X with a YS1.10 on it. The YS1.10 has a 16x4W APC. I can not start the plane without help. There is no where to grip the plane for a hold while starting. I thought about the plane holders that go on the back horizontal fins. But I really think the YS would break wood. Any device that someone knows of that holds the wings at leading edge? Portable.

A1 have been using a hldor on the horz. stabilizer on a Pacific Aeromodels Laser 200 with an OS FS120 spinning anAPC 16X6 prop with no problems, even use it for my World Models 300 with a First Place 3.2 with no trouble.

G'day Mate,
Have a look at the restraints we use here in Aus, they are stongly recomended here, not law yet, but should be.
They are 1/2" stainless rod, whatever length you need, with air conditioning pipe insulation slid over them.
That is a 72" Katana, with an OS 160FX, & they hold it, securely.
