You gave me the inspiration to build one of these. My oldest daughter finally left the nest and I reclaimed my hobby room by installing a work bench, a big work table and the plane rack. My problem is I could use 2. I do not have the room but that's ok.
I watched all your videos for something to do. I make videos to show others that they can get into the RC hobby cheap enough if they really want. It's not a need, it's a want, so for those struggling with every day life, the hobby isnt something everyone should do. However, if someone wanted to get into it, they can mabe follow my advice and it will get them started. Everyone starts at the beginning so that how that goes.
I’ve been thinking “A LONG TIME” about something for my planes. AND YOU DID IT. 😉 Thank You ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
the length of the horizontal pipes could be a lot shorter if the front of the plane faced the wall.
That also would put plane weight closer to wall.
Thanks for the great idea. Just made 1 for 4 planes. Works great!
I have the same set up. If you find out you have a heavier plane you can always run additional PVC pipe from the rack to the ground for security. Nice job!
Danny Helton good idea!
Can you explain? Wouldn't vertical PVC pipes prevent other plans from being stored underneath?
Your plane hanger makes a great plane hangar!
Great idea,I'm a plumber by trade and I think pvc and other pipe components make for great r/c stands ,holders,shelving etc.its quite strong as well,
Hi Kaylee, went and picked up the stuff to build a rack like yours today in the shop I built a rack similar to that if you years ago but yours was a little bit different design and much better, thank you for the idea and complete instructions with measurements only thing different was I think inflation has set in maybe it's been a while since you built that anyway cost me a little over 80 bucks but that's okay I'm satisfied with it have it on the wall in the shop with planes on it already. Thank you again, you are my kind of gal not afraid to break a fingernail or do something on your own. Keep it up girl.
PS, I would like to get my hands on your caps and put a curl in the bill. LOL.
Nice storage ..good job...cantik orangnya buatanya juga rapih...,
Very cool and sharp looking!
Years ago I built a similar one, but for heavier planes and wings off using metal shelf racks with pipe insulation on the supports. Very strong, but yours is cooler! Thanks!
Built one of these plane racks a few years ago, it's a space saver and deffinaly helps with hanger rash. Nice job.
Chris thanks!
Cheap, simple and efficient. I'll do the same on my garage. Amazing! And congrats for the channel
Hi RC, The only thing I’m going to do different is put the planes with motor facing the wall. I’m thinking the front of the Plane is going to be Heavier then the back. But thanks for the TIP!👏😄
Yeah thats a sweet system you got, i just hang mine from the ceiling with fishing line and a j hook,-no foolin like 22-24 planes.
good idea, I have a bunch of rc air plane kits and a couple of foam ones that a guy gave me when he cleaned out his garage and I haven't done anything with them but I've been learning more about them from videos
Robert Barnes awesome!
That plane looks so good
If you want floor to ceiling, add screw in connectors with a screw cap at either end , the unscrew for a friction fit. maybe even add a pair of rubber or felt pads for grip.
I fly control line planes but have the same problems with storage, so I'm going to build one of these, thanks for the instructions.
I need one in my garage now
Not sure how I missed your channel before yesterday, but just want to say highly enjoyable to watch, good information, and I have a lot of catching up to do with what you've uploaded. Good work and cheers!!
Pvc for Gates and storage! Oh yeah you can use it for plumbing too
Carrboro_Chapelhill Fpv 😂
@@RCGirl 😜
Nice stand and a good idea. The only thing I would say is to be careful with the planes where the wings are attached with elastics. If the elastic rot out, the plane will fall. This is just from personal experience from when I was kid (a really long time ago). I used to hangs my planes from the ceiling until one day I found one of my models on the ground with the tail broken off.
Good Idea, winter is here and time to build something useful.
Yep! I actually bought more supplies this weekend to make a rack for my cars. ;)
Wow RC girl I've been sitting around trying to think of away to store my planes, this is outstanding I really appreciate you sharing. Thumbs up I'll watch for more, because I enjoy your videos
I think this is a great stand and the fact that you didn’t glue it means you can break it down and use one or two sections in the back of an SUV for transport as well if you don’t feel like making a separate stand. 👍👍👍👍👍
DIY plane hanger stand thingy 😂 that’s awesome!
Da Kine
Great idea and airplane are still stay on the rack. Amazing!
Looks great! Definitely a good idea to get the models off the floor :) You can trip over them, but I wouldn't know.
Discover RC haha! Yep... seems like most damage comes from transport and storage
Cool idea, looks great.....gonna start that as my next project.
Christopher Ervin I just got the supplies to make one for my cars too!
Very nice idea, thanks for sharing. Happy Flying
BRILLIANT 👏 RACKEM AND STACKEM ONLY WAY NEAT 👏
Elegant design, simple. Any suggestions for stronger arms? I don’t love the amount of flex in the arms. Any ideas for stiffer arms?
Great video. Anyone have ideas for apartment dwellers who can't drive nails or screws into the wall?
Awesome great idea. Anything to make more room for more . Nice plane collection you have going.
Thanks for this video! Was running out of space for my jets.
Looks awesome, like you! I dont know any chicks into rc's. Keep after it!
Thanks for the idea, I just finished mine and it came out great!!!!
Awesome! Good job Hayley!
Great plane hanger design!!! 👍
Great job might give it ago myself
Thanks for this i need to make something similar to this, i also prefer to store with the wings on, they look cooler.
Wow your hobby room looks like mine😎. Planes & trucks everywhere & plenty of boxes 😬
Great Idea thanks👍🏻. I build stands for my planes out of the same stuff for transporting & working on.
🙃🙃🙃🙃
Good work, nice place you have
Super idea! Nicely done!
Great video this is the same way i store all my planes the problem is once the racks are full and double stacked i still have planes all over the place lol
haha!
Good job, kiddo!
raymondkoonce thanks!!
good idea there...I was wondering where I'd put mine if I keep collecting them lol
Great rack!!! Is this you real job or do you do something else 9-5?
Cool,I like that idea
James Swift thanks!
How about a good solution to hang a lot of those Eachine mini EPP RTF warbirds (P51, T38, F4U, etc) on the ceiling? I'm thinking of using fishing wire (clear) but not sure if that's a good idea. Thanks!
Looking good! Did not see any rack
Schedule 80 pipe would be stiffer. You could use it just for the arms for greater load support.
i know they're not very heavy but will the wings warp over time hanging by the wings ? i would think you would want brace bars to hold the body instead
Just pop a small screw in each joint where it overlaps the tubing. Just to be on the safe side.
Thanks heaps just went to the hardware and picked up some stuff great idea. Love your channel. Oh don't know if it is your side or mine but I can't turn on alerts for your channel
Awesome I have been doing it for years 👍👊🤙
😊
Is that first plane an Apprentice S 15 e? What wheels did you put on it? Would love to see a review about that plane!
Saw an amp. What kind of guitar ( if that’s s what you have )do you play?
how far apart did you make the each plane
Clever idea 😃
Xmaxx Fan 👍
This is great. Thanks
That’s a great idea
David Turner yeah it's super easy to make!!
Gunna have a go at that with similar tubing that we have in England
Thanks ! I made one just like yours following your plan and it's great ! Wish I could attach a pic :)
Good job!!!
What is the name of the little red plan
What was the airplane on top
Great video! I need to organize my hanger for sure! Hey I see my LED free flight glider! =D
PilotPeteProductions HD Haha! She needed something else to put on the hanger. Apparently more planes are needed, obviously.
We can take care of more planes =) Time for some 'Jets' for RC Girl! @@mtnmyke
Yes, "she" needs jets ;) Know anyone who sells them?
@@mtnmyke I happen to know a guy who knows a guy that sells them!
Have him meet me in the back alley. I'll bring cash, he brings the goods!
wow great video,looks great just like you xoxo
Awesome Great job
Nice Rack👀👌 Where did you get that Ultimate 2?- It's Discontinued😭
Paul Gutierrez I think I got it like a day before it was discontinued!
Did this in my basement, still need to build one more
Basements?
Yes I have rc planes in my basement lol, it’s a storage space thing !
Sorry, meant, did you need to build more basements? My garage is full. Car parked outside. I really need another garage (for the planes, not the car). 8-D
No worries Joanne! Btw I subbed to your channel, 👍
Thanks DeucesWild.
Hi there, what is that red and white floatplane that says Navy on it? Appears to be a beaver?
I am also interested in your beaver
You are awesome! Great job! :)
Nit sure how I will fit my 6 metre gliders and large power models on there but nice job.
U got it all U have a hobby shop of your very own!!!Lucky Well let be a bit more honest Crazy Alsome Skills 👍
Looks great :O)
Instead of a pvc wall hangar, how about a steel frame ceiling plane-hanging hangar??
I think you like plan,s.😎👍
Liked and Subscribed.
great vid!
Fog City RC thanks!
Thats a great idea but i have over 60 planes 20 cars and about the same helicopters i need help !! :)
I was running out of space for my edf jets until I saw this.
Oh my... I so smashed the Subscribe button... when I saw that smile... Ty4sharing! Lol awesome.. !! Vid 2 !●•°~☆°♧
That's a pretty cool idea thank you..
:)
good lord....how many rc things do you have....i thought i had to many lol
I just got the hobby zone plane and I’m scared to fly it. I watched your vid but I’m still scared
V Lad Gaming which plane did you get? Go fly it! 😏
RC Girl I got the sport club S the beginner one you made about and in New York it sucks to fly it because of wind
@@V_LadGaming Ahh yeah wait for a calm day for that!
me too,lol i bought a carbon cub s+ back in sept of last year, put it together and hung it up to the ceiling in the mancave,and thats it,lol
Really good rack, but personnaly I prefer removing the wings of the plane because I need to do it anyway to put it in my car
Second time around AS A LARGE R/C DESIGNER AND BUILDER FOR 40 ODD YEARS .
PLEASE GUY'S IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN R/C PLEASE JUST BIN THESE FOAMEY TOY RACKS AND . AND DESIGNE AND BUILD SOME THING. THAT NEEDS A MINE HANGER. THATS MODELING AND ENGINEERING.
EVEN BEFORE THE MAIDEN FLIGHT.🤭
You're going to have to move into a new place.
Aloft with 12foot ceilings.
Or have drawers and give out the airplanes that you're not so attached to 🤔🤔
Could of saved more money by buying electrical pvc pipe (pipe is gray) and is same sizing as pluming pvc.
Great idea, but it wouldn't work here with our five cats. They'd use it as another cat tree and climb/tear the shit out of the foam. I have to hang all of my stuff from the ceiling. LOL
Stand thingie
I can see you are going to need a bigger house!!!😂🤣😂😘
Nice rack rc girl. 😎
Eat your heart out Home Depot, this freed ulp a ton of space as well as storing your birds. Do think the PVC would be strong enough for some crawlers?? Crafty no doubt👍✌👍
Jahmen RC yeah I actually just made one for my cars to!! Since the arms aren't as long, they can hold heavier cars. 👌
@@RCGirl right on! Thx for this vid mucho informo(no offense). Thank alot btw my wife wants to learn how to fly😕
Jahmen RC haha looks like you'll be needing a plane rack soon then 😏
How many Rc's can one girl have...Just ask The Rc Girl she knows lol
The Rc Hunter I know, I need help 😩
31 planes in my hanger (um, garage). I have to park the car outside.
@@RCGirl we meet every tuesday, at the airpark
We need a only fan for her
You have been excused
You are going to have to move into a new place.
Nice, but my planes got bigger... 😃
Got a question. Did your husband or boyfriend coax you into the RC world. Or did you have a personal interest on your own. Unfortunately there’s not too many females in this hobby.
