Fair RCFMS Model Airplane X Display Stand/Holder V2 - Silver

It's sturdy and it hold this big plane with no problem!

I have a total of four of these. Very happy with them in general, but the fourth one I recently ordered had the threads stripped on the side that the locking bolt screws into. I already threw away the box it was shipped in, so I can't easily return it. Going to have to come up with a slightly larger bolt to use and then re-tap the threads on the receiver side, as well as drill out the pass through hole on the other frame. Oh, well.

Screws that held posts together are special torque heads. Torque head type are very small. Somewhat difficult to install even if you have the proper tool. I went to Lowes and purchased 4MM phillips head screws and it worked out much better.

This is made of high quality material, but on the one I received the two tubes were slightly different inside diameters. Because of this the bracket on one of the feet was not able to slide into the smallest tube. To resolve this I had to machine the bracket down to the size that would fit. After doing this the unit is quite nice. It is a little weak for 60 size nitro planes but i was able to use it carefully for those. Also they didn’t include any assembly instructions so you have to assume which end is the top or bottom. I believe the longer end goes down for better stability but either way the foot bracket would not fit without machining. Last thought…I used some ankle weights to lay across the feet so that the unit could not tip as easy. That really helped.

I was hesitant to spend $80 on a plane stand but there are so few available. Don't wait and pick this one up today. It is very sturdy and well machined, no cheap china junk. This stand is built to last for years and you won't be disappointed.
