Ok, I ran out of space in the garage, so I put some hooks in the wall to hang helis on by the skids. Apart from oil dripping out the muffler and seeping out of the engine at the fan, are there any other reasons why I should not hang them like this?

Oh, and the plank is not mine!!

I'm teaching my 2 boys orientation with it.

Sure!!! Likely story. Thats what they all say.

"what goes up must come down," hopefully in one piece!

Works great, plus by doing it like that, you don't squash out the landing gear.

It is best to store your models with the crankshaft pointing vertically upwards so that any fuel drains out of the bearings .

At the end of the day , it gets dark .

If fuel is in motor you did not run out after last flight . Also fuel evaporates and leaves oil on bearings . Ive been hanging helis on wall for years with no worries.Just rotate motor if you leave heli on wall too long

I dont know how to fly just how to not crash !!!!!

You know, if Rubbermaid or Closetmaid ever find out that we have another use for their shelving, the cost will go up!
