ABSTRACT:
A device for storing and displaying a model airplane. A vertical member adapted for easy attachment to a wall has an outwardly extending tongue at its lower end for retaining and supporting the model on its nose. A pair of wing retaining brackets are rotatably and pivotably mounted to a horizontal cross member adjustably mounted to the upright member. The wing retaining brackets are free to orient themselves to conform with the sweep of the leading edges of the model's wings and with the wings' dihedral and serve to immobilize the model and maintain its fuselage upright. Means for positioning the wing retaining brackets allow the device to accommodate models of varying size and configuration, and can be adjusted to allow the weight of the model to be supported by the fuselage alone, or by both the wings and the fuselage. In an alternative embodiment, the wing retaining brackets are mounted resiliently to the cross member, thereby allowing the weight of the model to be distributed equally, or in any other desired ratio, between the wings and the fuselage.
