storing 33% planes?
Can anyone send pictures showing me how you store your planes in the garage. I have seen hanging with rope, and hanging on shelf racks. I am looking for the best way. Please help...

Re: storing 33% planes?
My favourite method is to get some ladder hooks. Put them in the studs at the correct height, and hang the aircraft by the landing gear.
Simple, cheap, and gives quick access to the aircraft.

Re: storing 33% planes?
I use the ropes with the pulleys that are made to lift your bike up. It works great.

Re: storing 33% planes?
 Like this. I space the pulleys apart far enough so the front one is hooked on the prop, and the rear one I loop a piece of rope around just in front of the tail feathers. |

Re: storing 33% planes?
I made a stand using a board and a foam lined cup, and I just stand it up with teh spinner in the cup. It take almost no room, and is easy to get in and out. Plus, it was a $5 investment, been using it for 3 years now.
During the winter when they live in the basement they still sit on the nose, just on a piece of carpet. |

Re: storing 33% planes?
My Garage has 10 foot ceilings and these bike hoists work really well. The 35% Yak wheels are 6' 3" off the floor. The Hoist does not lift the plane level, you must support the nose till it is fully hoisted to the ceiling. Once you've done it 2 or 3 times, it's a piece of cake.
Bought these off Ebay for about 3 bux each!! |
