RC Airplane Build Stand

We have officially started building the Carbon Cub 15cc and, anticipating some upcoming steps in the manual, we needed a build stand!! So we decided to just make one out of PVC pipe, some fittings, and a little creativity. We followed a picture/build post from RC Universe but we changed a couple things slightly dimension-wise. We will post the original link below and also list the changes we made. We have about $20 into this stand, so for our purposes it's perfect, cheap, and we didn't have to wait for anything to come in the mail!!

What we changed/used -

added a "V" at the top by using a 3 way 90 degree joint on each end
used 1/2" PVC (plenty strong) instead of the 1" from the original design
"V" arms 7 1/2" long (4)
leg extensions 5 1/2" long (4)
connector pieces 1 1/2" (8)
cross bars 20" long (2)
T fitting's. (6)
90 degree fittings (6)
3 way 90 degree corner (2)
plug ends (4)
caps (4)
1/2" foam insulation wrap (1 section)

In hindsight, we would not have used the caps on top of the V arms but used plug ends instead. The caps bulge the foam out too much and don't add any benefit. The plugs would be a much cleaner look up top. We originally used 1/2" foam insulation but 3/4" probably would have been better fit. We will probably change to them! Good luck, have fun!
