Good use of space!  Run a strip of the aluminum on both sides of the beam and you will have an automatic stagger to the planes.  This might give a little bit of extra space for the vertical fin.

Talk about smart airplanes!  Not one of them opened the paper to the comics section!

       Nope. The garage loft.

Oh-oh!

Drip...drip...drip...

"Hey honey, did you notice those spots on the living room ceiling?  I wonder what they're from?"

       Not to worry. Forty two years ago, my wife, after learning of the existence of model airplanes, issued an edict: "The house is my space, the garage and cellar is yours". We've been peacefully coexisting ever since.

My only concern (from experience) is if or if not the garage loft if heated or cooled...I suppose in Maine, the cooling is not too critical but I highly suspect winter extremes in the LOFT

I have ample attic storage here for my ever increasing fleet, but due to the temp extremes would not consider ever hanging my hard work in a 160-F or near zero-F environment

As it is, we had to suck up the cost of electricity for my Building barn/shop to cool ME to a comfortable 80 in the summer (105-F outside). And at least 60F in the winter ( 25-F~45-F typical)... supplies, paints, glues, balsa stock, kits to consider---but more importantly I got cheap fluorescent lights that do not fire and run without flicker in the sub 60F range...Yes there are better options and ballasts or even now LED fixtures ---but my 7 each  8' two tube fixtures are still providing good light as long as I do not try to light them at 40~50F indoor temp

MY dad did a very similar rafter set of plane hangers, but using 3 inch W x 4 foot L strips of Peg board nailed to the 2x4s

for some reason I dont really have a fleet of airplanes to worry about hanging?

These lines are for raising and lowering my kayaks to the garage ceiling and they come in handy for storing planes.  I rotate the prop through the lines.

So Mark, what's the correct stunt saying for this situation: "If you have a fleet of stunt-ships you are not pulling out low enough...."

I guess on the other hand, if you only have one or two, maybe pull out a little higher?   :D
