OK, so now you've built 20 aircraft, still have 10 left, average
wingspan is 2m +, your basement walls are: 1.Finished rooms 2.Shop area
does not have any wall space (Usual nail shelves, paint storage,
etc.,etc, and so forth). How do you store these things SAFELY?
No, I do not have that many planes but I do have limited "free
space". I am thinking of building some sort of "overhead closet" to
keep these safe. Any thoughts? All suggestions considered and
appreciated.

| 1527.1 | What I do is.... | BAHTAT::EATON_N | Nigel Eaton | Thu Jun 03 1993 09:12 | 18 |
I have a restricted area too, what I have done is string strong wires across my workshop ceiling, between hooks. I set up a grid, so that I can just put the wings / fuselages etc on top of the wires, and then they're out of the way. You have to use strong wires, and stout, well anchored hooks for this to work, but I've had no troubles, and I don't tread on wings any more! A friend, who has a taller ceiling than mine, has bolted a frame made from Dexion to his ceiling, and just puts loop of twine around the 'plane (front and back), then hooks the twine to the Dexion. Same effect. Hope this helps! Cheers Nigel | |||||

My shop is in the basement and I have a grid of hooks that run along the 1st floor joists. I use luggage bungie cords to hold models between the joists. This keeps them from hanging low enough to be clipped by someone's head or something being carried. The bungies give some if they do get bumped. Keeps them off the floor and keeps the cats/kids from bumping into them and knocking them over. | |||||
