The biggest planes I have had on there to date are the Diamond 2500, a 2.4 meter foam glider and a Super Sky Surfer similar in many ways to the diamond 2500 but with a more stout fuselage.
I like the molded compartments below. I constantly lose pieces like small screws and washers for example, because I have a habit of taking out hardware and just setting it on the work surface. I have to retrain myself to utilize the compartments to hold my hardware so as to not lose them in the shuffle.
I also like that I can pull up the uprights and the whole thing fits in a bag I bring to the field reasonably well. To date the uprights still fit in the base snugly.
This is one of those "why didn't I buy this along time ago" purchases. It makes it so much more enjoyable working on my air frames. No more rolling around and trying to upright an air frame with various objects within reach.
One gripe I had initially was that the unit was pretty slippery on my work surface. I have actually come to appreciate this as it make maneuvering the stand and whatever fuselage I'm working on more easily. I'm sure I could affix something with grip to the bottom if need be to prevent it from sliding.
Additionally I bought this stand as the idea of a foam stand offered by others did not appeal to me. I may try one in the future though.
Flippable Supports -- Note that the upright supports can be inverted so the wide jaws are up and the narrow jaws are down. For example, I found that using one support wide-up and one support narrow-up to be a good fit for high-wing aircraft which often have wider, flat-ish fuselage forward, and for monohull deep-v boats.
(Semi-)Fixed Gap -- The uprights anchor themselves very firmly in the receiver slots at each end of the base, but unlike the X-supports/Cross-bars design, distance between supports is obviously fixed -- except that you can friction fit a support in one of the inner trays to shrink the gap between supports (trays same width as the end slots). While this might be fine for quick maintenance like a battery change or a pushrod adjustment, note that support will be floating a bit and might be knocked over sideways if you're doing some serious work.
Hard Plastic / Cushioning -- This is not a styrofoam stand -- the uprights are a hard smooth (slippery) plastic, so the product is supplied with a couple of sticky-backed, black, foam rubber strips which can be affixed to the jaws. There's enough material to do a pair of jaws generously, or just enough to cut the strips into multiple pieces if you want to use both wide and narrow sides of the jaws. A strip of 'velcro felt' would also work well to provide some grip and it might conform to the jaw curves a bit better.
Packing / Base Color -- Not a big deal, but if packing the stand for travel, note that uprights don't quite fit flat within the footprint of the base -- they stick out a bit even if the jaws are nested. For those wondering which color base (grey or yellow) is shipping, I bought one of these in late September and it too came through with a grey base and blue uprights -- something which I prefer.
Overall -- a sturdy option for many r/c models, with very little play or wobble and the added flexibility of flipping the jaws.
