Default How do you store your plane?

Is there any kind of hanger that I can buy to put my plane under the roof?

Default hang it

IJUST USE a rope hooked to the ceiling with one of those push button tension holders . I loop the rope (shoe lace size ) around the tail and snug up the adjuster to raise it up out of my way.

Hook it onto your wall with string attached to the main gear. It looks cool and doesn't take much space

I assume you mean the roof of the house...

I got some 1/2" pvc pipe (or 3/4" depending on the size of your planes - though 1/2" was plenty for my .60 size nitros) and a couple T, L, and threaded fittings. Made this shape:

A vertical pipe with an L at the bottom, and a T about 4 inches (or so) from the bottom facing the opposite direction, i.e the bottom "L" faces right, the "T" faces left. Then put a threaded male coupler at the top that will thread into a bracket that screws to the ceiling. Put about 12" or so pipe into each of the L and T fittings.

Make 2 of these for each plane. The wing rests on the upper/left horizontal, and the fuse on the lower/right section. Do that so the wing won't contact the tail when they're both sitting there. Pad the horizontals with some foam and zip ties.

This works well if you have exposed rafters or a flat ceiling and no wall space to hang them.
