Today I sent myself on a mission to seek ideas of how to hang my planes. One idea involved a lot of wood cutting and drilling and painting- not what I want or need. Your idea is elegant. Simple, fast and easy on/off. Thanks much, Abby and Nate.
Had to go back and watch this again. 5 years ago I had 3 planes. Now it’s like 27 planes. 2 pvc racks full, 4 float planes hanging from the floor joists and a bunch of planes scattered in just about every room. (That my wife doesn’t go in) Of course it’s the big planes that on the rack- Flightline P-38, ArrowsRC Husky and MiG 29, and the real booger, the Dynam Dr-7 Albatross. It was also nice to revisit this video and see Nate when he was 17 years old and clean shaven.
Hey Nate and Abby, I am fairly new to your channel and have subscribed and I am so glad you made this video. I know it's been several years since you posted this, but my wife was not happy at looking at my planes on the floor, on top of beds, in practically every room in the house! Your idea was brilliant, I just went to pick up some self adhesive wall hangars and some nice thick, but soft yarn that wont cut into the wings and can't wait until I can hang these babies up and finally free up some room to keep the wife happy. A happy wife = A happy life! Thanks again.
Great Idea. I've seen so many different ways that people hang, store, shelf etch their planes. ... This definitely seems to be the best. And cheap. Thanks for the tip guys.
This method has held up really well, and if you don’t have more than 7 or 8 planes on one wall, this is a very space saving efficient way of storing/ displaying them. Happy Flying! 👍💯⚓️
This video showed up in the feed. You posted this when I had an Apprentice 15s, a Dynam Hawksky and a WL Toys SkyKing. I know what my basement looks like now with planes everywhere, I can’t imagine what your storage looks like with planes, boats and cars. You must have a warehouse. I can’t believe I still have, in one piece, the Apprentice, Hawksky, Timber UMX, Turbo Timber and the 4th SkyKing. Those first 2 years were rough.
You guys just saved me some time and money. I was just about to head to Lowes to buy some PVC to build a rack. Oddly, I was gonna use the "3M Command" hooks to hang the rack from. I love the Command hooks. We have been using them for many years and appropriately sized, they have never failed. The yarn is the kicker! Thanks! Walt - Kevil, KY
I'm very happy this saved you money, and a good chunk of time I'm sure! They've been hanging like this since I made this video and none have failed so far. Remember to add some toilet paler, paper towel or some type of padding on your foam wing so it doesn't dig in over time. Happy hanging!
I learned this from a friend a few years ago. PROTIP: If you live in a really hot humid place *cough*HAWAII*cough* you will want to invest in a large corkboard or make sure that you adhere the 3M tabs straight onto the drywall/wood. If the surface is painted in a hot place with a lot of humidity they tend to slough off the wall pretty rapidly. Also clean the surface with rubbing alcohol before affixing the tabs. It helps extend their life a lot. Awesome tip!
Yeah good tips Trent! I once tried to use these in our bathroom to hang some decorative things and about a couple days later they fell off the wall due to the high heat and humidity =^/
Dude and Dudette' What a fantastic Idea, I have just moved and although I have a large garage, I don't want to take up a lot of space this will be great for the planes I have so glad I ran across the channel!
I love this method of hanging planes :) A couple years in now and not a single issue. Easy to move around as well for the day you might crash and get a different plane.
Thank you for this! I hung up the hobby for a long time, but wanted to hang up the aircraft too, and this is the perfect way to do it! And my wife is a huge fan of Command hooks so it's a win-win!
I'm late for the party! I only have two planes and limited space. Now the Timber 1.5 ad the Telemaster have a place to call home. Thanks for the easy and inexpensive idea.
Very cool. Have been struggling a bit lately on how to store my first foamy RC plane. Mine's not quite as tidy as yours yet, but I just hung it similarly on my bedroom wall. Great idea, thanks for the video! I used 2.5" nylon webbing straps in an effort to prevent any indentation in the leading edge a rope/cord might cause.
I'm going to try this. Mine are quite heavier though since they are balsa and nitro engines. Probably hang them by the landing gear since the string seems to leave impressions in the wings. Great cheap idea for sure.
Glad you like this method GBL :) So I've been using this method for years now (in my cold garage in the winters) and not a single plane has fallen because we hang the hooks up exactly as "Command" explains. Also, the yarn hasn't cut into any foam because I'll fold up a piece of toilet paper to help pad where it's making a physical connection with the plane wing.
TheRcSaylors Thank you so much! This seems way easier than the PVC solution. I have never used the Command hooks, but I will follow the directions closely. Congrats on blowing past 100k subs!
AMAZING! I love this idea! I have 3 RC planes, and was planning on hanging them on my ceiling. It would look cool, but it wouldn't be very utilitarian. The wall hanging method is PERFECT. Glad I found this video. Thanks! ✌
Awesome George! This method has worked well for us for years now and have only ever had one hook give way. Simply because we used cheap paint and the paint is what ended up peeling due to moisture in our garage. Happy Flying!
Hi Nate and Abby I've just seen this vid I've just got back into electric r/c from nitro I use the same method but I use one line from hook under wing across windshield and under other wing and back to hook works brill all I do is pull line down and plane straight off, i do use an elasticated line works brill try it Nate :))👍👍👍👍👍
Yup... been searching for ways to store planes... like your solution. Simple, cheap, convenient, scales, secure, removable.... lots of adjectives:) Have you tried using the landing gear with twine/wool to hang the planes from?
Yeah we've done the landing gear method as well, just depending on the plane. You'll be happy to know that even today, not a single one of my planes has fallen from this method :-)
Good one people! That seems to work just fine :) I've never seen those hooks in the stores over here though :P But I'm sure there is something similar to be found the world over :) Cheers and thanks for sharing!
Just ordered some to try this out. The problem i have is that my lab is upstairs and i have walls that face inward. They follow the roof line. Hopefully they can handle the weight while slightly upside down.
Ah yeah the Command hooks work really well. Just be sure to follow the instructions on the back of the packaging and I think they'll work. Don't just stick it on the wall and instantly hang a plane on it. You'll see what I mean when you get yours. Lemme know how it works out!
Great tip, I have a pvc rack I made holding 4 planes from the exposed sub basement ceiling, problem is Ive collected a lot more than 4 RC planes...Thanks for sharing.
Nate you still have the best videos for hanging rc quads and planes. I went today and bought bought about $200.00 worth of Command hooks at Target. They are having a 5% off sale on all their Command hooks. It is so much better bringing them of the floor, plus I can sit and look at them. Plus they don't damage the walls. Thank. Robert
Whats that corsair in the background, have you ever done a review on it. Great tip guys. I've been doing the same thing sept hanging them from the ceiling so they look like there flying. Got to say your idea seem better as it looks easier to take down.
Good eye Gavin! We have not done a review on it and infact haven't even ever flown it. I built that last year and it was a gift from my parents for Christmas. I will also eventually hang these from the ceiling as well, just wanted to fill that wall up first.
So i had these up on my ceiling at my hold house for about 2-3 years. Its about 45 degree pitched roof. I had some 1-2kg planes and a bunch of light ones. Probably 8 in all. Not one of them ever dropped. This is my long term review.
Thus was really awesome of you to do a follow up with us on this video! We still have a lot of planes hanging with this same method with no issues to date ;)
new person on the flitetest forums was asking how people stored planes and i remembered this video. forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?39143-How-do-you-store-your-builds
that is a really good way I was watching test flight and they were hanging those from the ceiling using coat hangers man when I was watching your video of the 30,000 subscriber giveaway you had 30,000 + 22 now you're at 30062 40 subscribers within minutes that's pretty impressive
This is what the manufacturer says, “Note: Apply to surfaces above 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). Adhesive could lose adhesion above 105 degrees F (40 degrees C).”
I know this is a old post but a new one to me,good info how does a person qualifies or what is the process to qualify for a Rc giveaway seems like there is no more space to add anything else on your wall lol i would humbly accept a oppurtunity to win anything thanks Nate.Abby,oh and popeye of course you guys are the best
I will say this: since filming this video, not a single plane has fallen. I would imagine that if you buy the correct hooks (rated for weight) or just double up on smaller ones, it should work just fine 😁👍 Suppose I should say, do this at your own risk, but again, works perfect for me! 😎⚓
![PERFECT SIMPLICITY: Best RC Plane Storage Racks Ever! For [big] RC planes.](/img/n.gif)
Worked like a charm took me about 15 minutes per aircraft and voila! Thank you for this great video 👍
This is by far the easiest and cheapest method on the internet. I love it!
Is your wife's attitude concerning RC flying for sale, as well?

This is amazing!!! I’m going to do this for my son who’s RC plane collection keeps on growing!! Genius idea!

I just came across this video. Was running out of space (and patience from the wife). This is a GREAT idea! Thanks👍
Glad we could help! This method is still working to this day, and not a single plane has fallen from the wall :)
This is one of the most space efficient plane storage videos around. Thank you.

Great idea. Do you still use this method or your found another one? Does the yarn damage the wing? Thanks!
Great Idea. I've seen so many different ways that people hang, store, shelf etch their planes. ... This definitely seems to be the best. And cheap. Thanks for the tip guys.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Nick!
Thank you for this video! I have been considering getting a E-Flite 1.1M Trojan, and this will be very useful for storing it. Thank you! 😄
This method has held up really well, and if you don’t have more than 7 or 8 planes on one wall, this is a very space saving efficient way of storing/ displaying them. Happy Flying! 👍💯⚓️
woo! great idea! Moving this weekend and am definitely going to use this idea!

That’s crazy you guys have been at it for 5 years love watching!
I've been doing this for quite a while now. Its quick, safe, and easy!! Great vid as usual guys. Keep the tip videos coming!
Awesome! Thanks Rc McNutt!

@@TheRcSaylors you just answer my question. Thanks!
thank you so much. I was trying to figure this out.
Wow look at you, how old is this video, thanks for the tips on storing big tv planes.
Awesome idea simple and briliant!brilliant!! Thank you for sharing the video
This is one of my favorite videos. Gave me ideas on how to hang some vintage helicopters (late 80's) to free up some floor space.
Hey guys nice oldy but goodie

that is an excellent idea Nate, I have a new Timber X that I wanted to wall mount and this is a inexpensive solution.
Good idea, thank you for sharing

Nice tip
Great idea! I am running out of space and need a smart option. One question, does the yarn did into the foam at all over time?

great video the wall of rc plane look so cool
Thanks jay!
Awesome vid like always. Dude! I didn't know Abby was a NINJA!!!! She uses those sticks like Donatello!
Hahaha, she really is a Ninja!
AMAZING! I love this idea! I have 3 RC planes, and was planning on hanging them on my ceiling. It would look cool, but it wouldn't be very utilitarian. The wall hanging method is PERFECT. Glad I found this video. Thanks! ✌
Absolutely Seb! It works really well. Appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for this. Recently in the I hobby and have been wondering how can I store without taking up much space with the PVC. This would be great!!
Great job thanks!
Wow thanks. My husband just bought 4 planes and I had no clue how to store them
Great video, thank you!
Thanks, Happy wife, happy life! I used your idea again!
Awesome George! This method has worked well for us for years now and have only ever had one hook give way. Simply because we used cheap paint and the paint is what ended up peeling due to moisture in our garage. Happy Flying!
Good idea guys, I personally use a plastic rack for my airplane storage.
Wow..great idea.. just hung my first new rc in my garage. thankx
Happy to help! :-)
Good idea! Nice channel guys! You do a great job!
Thanks friend!!
You nailed it mint...now I know what to do
And our planes are still hanging even after this long!! 👍⚓😎

Fantastic and simply clever, do you have upgraded knowdays? do you have an amazon link? Thank you in advance.
Good one people! That seems to work just fine :) I've never seen those hooks in the stores over here though :P
But I'm sure there is something similar to be found the world over :)
Cheers and thanks for sharing!
Thank you Dutch! You could use any hook really, but to save from putting holes in your walls this works great!
Thank you for the video. Could you please show the smaller airplane too?
Would you please tell me what those hooks are, and where you can purchase them. Thank you. Looks neat! 👍🏻
You guys rock!!!
Great video guys! Awesome tips!!!!
No problem HighVolts, thanks for stopping by!
Very useful information my friends, thanks for sharing.

Doing the same hangers but in the ceiling. 👌
Great idea! Thanks for sharing!!
Great tip, I have a pvc rack I made holding 4 planes from the exposed sub basement ceiling, problem is Ive collected a lot more than 4 RC planes...Thanks for sharing.
Thanks shawn! Sounds like that would work well but you are right, once you get four there will inevitably be more!
I think I'm stealing this idea. Thanks!
Great tips guys.
That's a great idea! Thank you for the tip! I used to store my planes under the bed but some of them can be too big for that hahaha
Wow, you really kept them under the bed?!?! That is a first for us O.o
OMG i need this! Finnaly a good way to hang my planes. I keep getting more and more so my small work room cannot hold my 3-4 bigger planes
Thanks for the info!!! Young Nate lol😋
Lol yeah!! No problem 👍⚓😃
nice idea
Love it, thanks for the tip! I'll be doing this sometime soon! :)
Finally thanks. However where u get those planes from.? They great. We live in UK though
Does this work with jets too ? Trying to picture it in my head, you’d just need to have the hooks closer together right ?
Thanks ❤️🔥
👍😁😎⚓
Great idea!
:-)
Genius my man, Kudos!

Had to laugh when you said good eye as i only have one lol. You guys must be like me to much RC stuff not enough house. Keep up the good channel
that's some very useful information, if only I had planes to hang though !!
Fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing :) Does it work as well with planes that don't have landing gear?
Thank you so much for the great info. I went to Amazon and bingo, there they were
very helpful tips
=^D
THANK YOU!!! Great help!!
Does the string not leave a mark on the wing or body?I use ac hose over the string.nice tip.
On the heavier planes I use a small piece of foam to protect the wing, but I like your hose idea more!
Absolutely genius

How do you hang the little pieces after you "Fly" ?
Can you consider to make another video to hang those mini RTF (EPP) warbirds such as Eachine P51, T38, F4U, etc. from the ceiling? Thanks!
What size command hooks do you use for this? Are they the 3lb, 4lb, 5lb? Thanks!!!!
that is a really good way I was watching test flight and they were hanging those from the ceiling using coat hangers man when I was watching your video of the 30,000 subscriber giveaway you had 30,000 + 22 now you're at 30062 40 subscribers within minutes that's pretty impressive
Those command hooks hold up well in the winter? I noticed it's in the garage . Is your garage heated ?
This is what the manufacturer says,
“Note: Apply to surfaces above 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). Adhesive could lose adhesion above 105 degrees F (40 degrees C).”
Love your wall..
👍👍 great idea , still working good?

We do give aways regularly on the channel. Each time it is a different way to enter. Be sure to watch to find out how to enter :)
+TheRcSaylors ill be watching thanks again
I've got a couple 20+ pound scale warbirds, what kind of hooks should I use?
If it were me, I would either install something more permanent, or use a lot of command hooks 👍😁😎👍
Are there any concerns if your garage is not climate controlled? Too hot/too cold?
Ours is not climate controlled at all. Still no issues to this day!
Just seen your video from 2015 about best way to hang your rc planes. Will they work for 12 plus lbs balsa planes? From 6’ to a 9’ ws.
I will say this: since filming this video, not a single plane has fallen. I would imagine that if you buy the correct hooks (rated for weight) or just double up on smaller ones, it should work just fine 😁👍 Suppose I should say, do this at your own risk, but again, works perfect for me! 😎⚓
@@TheRcSaylors thank you. Love watching your videos
Do the strings make a dents/ marks on the air plane wings?
off to Walmart thanks for the video
