Hi John, great design. Just one question, at the top of the cross piece I take it you have used another 2 x 45 degree angle but what is in the middle part, is it just empty so the plan sits down like a cradle? Hope this makes sense, sorry if not.
Awesome! I am curious about a couple of airplanes from your collection which model and from which brand are the N318AJ, underneath the sky mule and the one in front of the Tundra ?
Greetings!! If I may ask, which foam did you use to cover the 1 inch pvc pipes? I'm having difficulty determining what diameter foam insulation I should buy. A link for the specific product out of home depot would be very nice. You have a wonderful collection!! Thanks.
Hey Paul, The secret that I used in my big plane rack, was the pivoting arms. The point of this was to get the contact points of the arms as close to the fuselage as possible. I have several planes that have been on the rack for over a year and upon inspection, I have no noticeable deformations in the foam. Good Luck. Wisconsin John

Is it safe to keep planes supported by the wings on this stand for extended periods of time ?

10 foot lengths NOT six! You also are calling the X a tee fitting. X or cross NOT a "T"!
