Q. What do these dimensions mean?
A. Size 530, 700, 800 and 1000 mm is nominal decimal dimensions. It means the length of the aluminum tubes which carry the weight of your model. The longer the tubes are - the bigger the distance between the belts, which transfer this weight from the model to the stand frame. The longer
your aircraft is - the longer Snap-Stand you need. To make whole structure stable keep the center
of gravity in between the legs of the stand.
Q. What is the difference between the stands of the same size,that are made of different kind of wood?
A. Mostly appearance. Obviously stand made of maple is the strongest one, comparing with the
one made of poplar. Oak durability is in between them. But the structure made of poplar is far
more robust than your needs are. We tested poplar stand under the load of 200 pounds and
we still could not break it. The brackets which carry the aluminum tubes are made of 12 mm
Baltic birch plywood and very strong.
Q. What Snap-Stand size will fit my needs?
A. Standard size stand will be OK to use with models up to 50cc (gas) airplane and smaller,
which is usually around 80” wingspan and about the same length. For larger aircraft up to
100cc, 700 mm is the most useful. For aircraft around 150 cc we would recommend 800 mm
Snap-Stand. 1000 mm designed for specific needs of jet fliers since jets are usually have very
long fuselage.
Q. What difference does clear finish make?
A. As any finish it protects the wood from moisture, dirt, oil and etc. Also it makes appearance of your
Snap-Stand much nicer. Polyurethane lacquer fits these needs perfectly. As well it doesn't crack. It resists the oil and any fuel like gasoline, methanol, kerosene etc. Finished product is much easier to clean up. Clean wood will serve you better and much longer.
Q. What are the shipping costs?
A. We established flat shipping rate within each country. For example to ship any size Snap-Stand
to anywhere in US is 38.00 Canadian Dollars. Too see more prices please click HERE.
Q. What currency are Red Plane products priced?
A. All our products are currently priced in US Dollars.
Q. How do I make a payment?
A. We use Pay Pal service for on-line payments. We also accept personal and corporate cheques,
money orders and bank transfers. The easiest way to make payment is via Pay Pal.
1) Go to “Buy now” page, select the product by clicking the button “Add to Cart”.
2) After you chose the product go to the very top of this page and click “Shipping Snap-Stand to US”, if you need to ship it to US. If you live in Turkey, click button “Shipping Snap-Stand to Turkey”.
3) When done, click yellow button “View cart” at the very right top corner of this page. This will bring you directly to Pay Pal web site right away.
If you already have Pay Pal account, you know what to do. If you don’t that’s all right, you can
choose two options – open account or make a payment without opening Pay Pal account. This
service allows to do so. Then just follow the procedure. The payment will be completed within
few minutes. The nicest side of Pay Pal service is that merchant (Red Plane for example) does not
see the credit card number of the customer, so all your private information is safe.
NOTE: If you need to ship chosen product to the country that is not listed, you can email us and we will make our best to ship it to you for the best price available.
