how do you store you heli's at home?

i have mine on its own landing pad on a tripod. needing to make a bigger heli pad for it tho as this one was for the walkera when i had it. its gonna also be made more sturdy as well. it is also a work area. the tripod center moves up and down so as not to kill your back, or if you sit on picnic table or a chair you can put it level to you to work on it. .retractable legs as well. the new helipad will be 16"x16" maybe made with cf board. 1/8 thick. or plywood with trim.

Hi NITRO_HAWK

I am using some shelfs for the models for storage and a old kitchen cabinet to work on and it double as some storage place inside.

Re: how do you store you heli's at home?

looks like you have to take rotor heads off to put them on the shelves? doesnt that make more work on you? other then that looks very neat and tidy kudos
