I have a ton of aircraft that would clear ALOT of shelf space if I hung them from the ceiling.Of the people who have their aircraft hung from their ceilings. How'd you do it? Thanks in advance. Serp

I used to hang lamp hooks to the ceiling and then hung the ships with fishing line. The trickiest part is getting the fishing line set so that the ship angles correctly.
My new room though has plastic ceiling tiles and they won't hold the weight of the ships so I've got nothing flying at the moment. |

I have used cuphooks, they are small and come in a number of colors so you ca nget ones that blend in with the ceiling. And fishing line is great. Under certain lighting conditions it will be virtually invisible. I used to hang models this way years ago. It worked incredibly well and was pretty inexpensive.

Hooks, preferably into the ceiling beams, and fishing line. 10 lbs test will handle most aircraft, but for the heavier stuff (Bbi jets) it wouldn't hurt to go higher.

I'm lucky because th previous owners finished my basement with a suspended ceiling. I just use fishing line looped around the frame and use those lure hooks to connect the ends. This way I take my planes down to play, then re-hang them when I'm done in under a minute. It costs me about $1 to hang 3 planes.
