[NSRCA-discussion] Displaying a pattern plane.

John.. 
 
    If you have a strong camera tripod..  Make a cradle with a blind nut same size as your screw for your camera body.  I would imagine bungee or rubber bands to hold plane to cradle then can position desired angle and position of model with pan handle.

  I'm going to set up a NSRCA table at our club's swap meet this Sunday.  I hope to pick up some interested pilots.  The swap 
  meet has become really successful.  Derek and Jim have given me a lot of good advice and ideas.  I plan to have various handouts,
  a simulator with a pattern plane, etc.  I would like to have my Focus on display but would like to have it back from the table out of harm's way.  The swap meet is held in a large airport hangar so there is now way I can hang it from the ceiling or a wall.  I thought about using the wing tube cradle I have as part of a rack I use in the back of the wife's SUV when I haul the plane to contests.  This cradle is mounted to a 1 x 6 plank.  I thought I could attach the plank to a sturdy camera tripod but looking at it I don't know...
  Anyone have any ideas?  I really would like to keep the plane back from the table.
  Thanks!
