Wing-Rack Cushions

Wing-Rack Cushions
Some modelers use regular shelf brackets in their wing racks, but the metal strips can leave marks on the wings. The solution? Cut a piece of foam pipe insulation into four pieces, then slit each one, and glue them over the edge of the bracket (A bread knife cuts foam cleanly). Adapted from 400 Great R/C Modeling Tips by Jim Newman, Volume II, an Air Age Media publication.
