Airplane Storage

As my number of planes grows, I'm finding that I have to use storage space more efficiently. I've always favored hanging my planes from the ceiling to get them out of the way. The problem was, when I used string to hang the models, getting them down from the ceiling could be a line tangling ordeal.

While looking on the forums one day I found an alternative solution the involves using bent wire to hang the plane.  Using wire coat hangers I was able to make a few hangers for my lighter planes.  Obviously, for a heaver plane, you'd want to use thicker wire, and fuel tubing or pipe insulation to protect your planes finish.

Using this method, I'm able to hang most of foamies in a manner that makes them easily accessible.  I'm using an inch wide nylon strap to hang my glider, as I haven't bought tough enough wire to make it a hanger.
