Title: Work Stand Post by: mail4ajo on August 31, 2009, 07:31:06 PM Just wondering if any of you are using a work stand while tinkering with your RC aircraft or helis. I found it very tiring to clean and replace stuff without a high stand. I first used high stools, buckets, step ladder and even the kitchen table top. Use of these stuff has been banned at home, so decided to get a work stand done.
I am using these models as a base. I want to make the holding table round so that it can suit all types of cars. The stand must rotate and be able to hold a few tools. Should be easy to carry to the field. Any suggestions or pics of your work stand will help me on this.

Bottom angle which is like a V I guess will spoil the fuse ESP nitro and gas. Will mod my design

Title: Easy to make Boat Stand Post by: VC on January 21, 2012, 09:01:31 PM This Boat Stand is super easy to make. I made two in 45 mins. Total cost of materials Rs. 100/-. For making the 2 stands / racks, all that you need are the following items: a length (10 feet) PVC insulation pipe, T (8 pcs) and Elbow (16 pcs) connectors, a hacksaw, a measuring tape / scale and CA / Epoxy.
The stand is super light, has a wide base and is therefore stable and very easy to construct.Since it doesn't have any sharp edges, the boat hull will not get scratched accidentally. Hope you all like this 'build' too! :giggle: Title: Re: Easy to make Boat Stand Post by: VC on January 21, 2012, 09:04:02 PM My boats look happier and more comfortable now.............. ;D
Title: Re: Easy to make Boat Stand Post by: Sumeet on January 22, 2012, 12:21:50 AM It would also be great for making plane stands with little modifications. Just a U shape where the belly would fit in.
And Yes sir! I like this build too. Great effort. :giggle: Title: Re: Easy to make Boat Stand Post by: VC on January 22, 2012, 12:27:27 AM :giggle: Thanks. Great 'Build' :giggle: :rofl:

How about the top of the stand could pivot around the sticks and they can be turned vertically to make an inexpensive CG balancing stand...:D
@kamaraj74, sorry for hijacking your image...sir, a layer of paint would make this awesome. Title: Re: Work Stand Post by: kamaraj74 on September 04, 2012, 04:36:13 PM Good suggestion i think over it
Title: Re: Work Stand Post by: sanjayrai55 on December 09, 2012, 12:11:31 PM Talking of PVC Pipe, there is a lot one can do. In fact, I have built a work table and a plane stand from it

Your engine reminds me so much of those German jewels made by http://www.3w-modellmotoren.com/ The Colomban Cricri (world's smallest twin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colomban_Cri-cri) has flown with these RC engines. One of Mark's flight school buddies had posted this. |
