    storing foam planes?

    hey all. i recently bought a super cub and im now wondering if its actually a good idea to store it built and hanging from the roof. only reason i ask is because ive had a air force 1 747 for a while now and i had to support the fuselage evenly or it warped the whole plane. i think the wings have also dropped a little.





    Im sure its just because its made from cheap foam but id like to know for sure if im safe to hang my super cub or if i should also rig up some supports for the wings and tail. right now it hangs from the pins the elastics connect to to hold the wings on.

    I just put a loop of small rope around the landing gear and hang them on the wall. Never had any issues with bending or deformation at all. I do have one plane in my living room hanging like yours but its supported under the wing mounts and quite small. However it is balsa so not really part of the topic.. lol.

    I hang some of mine from the prop. If the prop warps its an easy fix. But any long time storage I will disassamble and set on shelves.
