Organize Your Props !!!

I figure everybody's got their own method of storing their props...like the time-honored tradition of just "Chucking Them in a Drawer", but thought I'd post my idea for keeping SOME sort of rhyme and reason to them so that I can avoid too much searching during those passionate moments of engine testing!

For a long time, I've used bamboo skewers from Walmart, epoxied into a wooden plank. This LOOKS real official and all, but isn't very efficient for packing them around in your field box, or even storage in the big box at home.



I'm still sliding the props onto bamboo sticks, but in a much more streamlined manner. I assemble them into "units" by sliding them onto the skewer, and keeping them there with a piece of small fuel tubing. This way, I can pick up the whole thing, and quickly determine all the info I need to select a prop. It's also very obvious as to their pitch direction (pusher or tractor), and they will now lay flat in a shallow drawer, taking up much less space, but still being real handy.





Just a thought... Organizing Kim
