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.
