    Multi rotor storage

    I was just wondering how some of you are storing your multi rotor copters when not in use at home. I have a hobby room that seems to be getting smaller and smaller all the time due to this addicting RC hobby and have now ran out of shelf space. In my room I currently have 8 assorted 1/8th scale...
