Area for sharing anything that might help out fellow modelers. Great place to post a question or something you learned the hard way but could save others the same grief!!

Ernst table top plane stand

I've used this kind for years, it works great on models during construction or repairs but doesn't work well with the larger birds...

Here is a link to the RC WIKI for this product http://radiocontrol.wikia.com/wiki/Ernst_Manufacturing

This is the Robart super stand that's available at almost all Hobby Shops. It's light, inexpensive and surprisingly durable. Works great for larger models, but might not be a good fit for those 25% and up creations!

This one is one of the best one's I've had the pleasure to work with...Made right here in the USA, excellent craftsmanship but a little pricey. Get what you pay for I guess!
