Features
- 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.
