Storing RC wings in a normal flat is one of those problems the hobby doesn’t warn you about upfront. Wings end up in corners, leaning against walls at optimistic angles, accumulating dust with the kind of consistency your actual flying never quite achieves. And then, inevitably, something topples. A wingtip gets dinged. A foam fuselage gets a permanent impression from whatever fell on it. You spend an evening with CA glue, telling yourself this won’t happen again.
It will happen again.
I had some leftover 6mm aluminium rods sitting around from a previous project, and then rediscovered an IKEA IVAR shelf that had apparently been waiting patiently for a purpose. The goal was simple: a storage system with as few 3D printed parts as absolutely necessary. No sprawling ecosystem of brackets, adapters, and sub-adapters. Just something that works.
What I ended up with: a single 3D printed angle bracket, in two variants. One holds the two rear mounting rods. The other adds a forward-facing arm. Wings slot in between them, sorted however you need them. The sections are still adjustable in my current setup — a drop of CA glue will lock everything in permanently whenever I decide I’m done rearranging.
So far, nothing has fallen on anything. Progress.
