"Building a Pattern Airplane" book

[John Ferrell]

All pipe insulation is not equal. The commercial folks spend a little more
and us the Armstrong brand name. It is a lot softer thant the discount store
stuff. If you pull the cable ties/bailing wire tight enough it will sink
into the foam and not scratch the airplane. Before you make the arms select
the foam. You will get a better fit...

Don Atwood:

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
