EDF Hanger Storage Ideas

[F106DeltaDart]

What are your dimensions on the rack on the right? I would like to do a set up like that.

Overall dimensions are 41x22x72". Each of the vertical uprights are 15" tall for the bottom 3 slots and 10" for the top 2. That is just the pipe length for each section, not counting the adapters, and the 3rd upright from the bottom is split midway to hold a horizontal support. The nice thing that I've found with this setup is that several of the slots can be easily used to accomadate multiple planes depending on their dimensions.

Nice idea Oxotnik. Are those just wood dowels with pipe insulation for the wing supports? It looks like you can move them around as the need changes, true?

Yes, 1/2" wood dowels with 1/2" pipe insulation. It works well. I have screwed the stands into the walls, but they'd be really easy to move, as the stands are really just leaning up against the wall. I cut 10° angles into 2x4s for just a little bit of lean. I'm really happy with this setup. My heaviest plane is the FlightLine P-38, and it's supported very well.

New storage setup I am trying on my YF-23 and Lancaster. Since I can't mount directly into the walls in my apartment, had to be a bit creative with how to suspend them.

New system for storing the F-16 over my desk. Just a couple of shelf tracks bolted on to the back of desk legs, and one F-16 in a knife edge pass.

I use a very efficient and simple method for my tail draggers. I locate the studs in a wall and partialy drive in a 2-1/2" finishing nail. I slip the tail wheel axle over the nail and there you have it. The plane hangs there, out of the way. It also makes my planes visible for display. I've done this for years, and so far, no tail wheel damage. Doc

Very creative Delta. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Very classy space. Nothing like making your planes part of the decor.

thankyou. yes they look great on the wall. Only flown the f16 twice, and the F14 I havent flown yet...hate to wreck my wall decor now lol One of these days I'll get the nerve to fly it.

This is what I use for storing my planes. Very stable. Holds 5 planes. Could hold more if the area per plane was condensed, but I didn't want to make it too cramped.
