Features
Safety Bench
  • Safe airplane positioning due to sturdy wing restraints
  • Super convenient.
  • No more crawling around on the ground.
  • Visible safety features of the bench encourage flyers to think about their actions.
  • Safer than tail hooks.
  • Inexpensive, see our text to see how we got contributions that paid for approximately 50% of the materials. Think about the great bench we got for the price of what we would pay for one replacement battery for a transmitter.
  • No need for big heavy field boxes, just the small portable type is needed.
  • Tune the engine from behind that spinning prop.
  • A place for everything.
  • Everything is at the right height .No bending over while starting or removing the airplane.
  • 3 legged design means the bench will be steady on uneven ground.
  • 3 Legged design allows you to get behind and next to the airplane, no reaching out.
  • Compact design.
  • Light enough for 2 flyers to carry easily.
  • If wheels are fitted to the front legs they are very easy to move for grass cutting.
  • Easy to build, particularly if you lay out the first bench and use the pieces as patterns.
  • Standard size Safety Bench can handle a wide rang of airplanes .049 to 1.6. In our experience.
  • 1/4 Scale Safety Bench can handle all 1/4 scale and some 1/3 scale airplanes. When they get larger than the bench can handle, the airplane should be kept on the ground.
  • 1/4 Scale Safety Bench can handle all the sizes of the Standard Bench but you have to bend over another 7 inches.
  • Can be used for Helicopters.
  • Can be used for Fan Jets or other swept wing airplanes that have extended long nose wheels with a slight modification or just extending the center plank in the table during construction.
