"Building a Pattern Airplane" book

[Ihncheol Park]

I found blue foam sheet of 1/2 or 3/4" thickness that is used for camping
from Wallmart.  This is also good for protective padding usage such as wing
& fuse bag etc.
I will try to use it with double sided tape (thin) for stand use.

    With repect to your "Building a Pattern Model" book, in it you describe
a
    plane stand with adjustable arms for holding planes of various sizes and
in
    different ositions as needed. I have made three of them. My question is,
    what did you use to pad the arms?
    I have tried pipe insulation and foam insulating tape, I haven't yetcome
up
    with a good way to hold the padding on the arms. The pipe insulation is
too
    stiff. The foam tape had a sticky back, I used the sticky back and it
fell
    off. Tried to CA it to the arms abd it fell off. Tried nailing it to the
    arms and the nail heads  chewed up everything I used the plane stand
with.
    Tried epoxy and that doesn't hold either. Any clues as to what works?

    Thanks.

  Dave, several people beat me to your question, but I have tried the
electrical tape to hold the pipe insulation as well as zip ties.  Both will
work fine.  Another approach is to seal the inside edge of the arms where
you want the foam to attach with epoxy or polyurethane and then use the self
adhesive weather stripping avail at any home improvement center.  The black
high density foam type works well.

  Thanks everyone else for your input too......
