I am making a level table from a Lazy Susan:) what do people use for holding the skids down? Mine is wooden:)

Not sure a leveling table would be much point on the lazy Susan as you want to have the heli non moveable so the level is accurate,

I may have mis understood your idea though Graham,

Jus need to know what the skids are held with:) I can lock the Susan and i am going to have spirit level adjusters for when using Soko:)

Ah I see, I would say just use some little screw down clamps, with a v or round groove on the underside of the clamp block,

I have seen light utility springs used. attach one end to the suzan and the other end should hook to the nose of the air frame. another option is to sandwich the skids between the suzan and a strip of wood across the skids, use a carriage bolt and a butterfly nut to secure each end.

I like the wood across the skids, seems safer.

Random skid clamps may work... I use the to hang my helis... Awesome clamps.

If u use 4(I only need one per side to hang), 2 on each side it would keep it level on the skids as well as hold it there without the packs in... If the packs aren't in the heli it's tail heavy and leans back.. These clamps would work I think... Little expensive.. Can't remember..10 bucks for 2... Have to look it up.

Have you made this lazy Susan yet Graham?

Graham Lawrie · Post by **Graham Lawrie** » Sun Nov 23, 2014 10:55 am

Yes Tony, but no clamps yet:) I am wanting it to be able to clamp all my helis from 150-600:)

I watched that video when you posted it Tony. Simple but effective:)

That sounds like it's going to be tricky, have you got a large turntable for the 600, my lazy Susan table is too small for the Goliath skids I've got on my 450, there 600 size

Graham Lawrie · Post by **Graham Lawrie** » Sun Nov 23, 2014 1:16 pm

I tried the 600 and it fits:)

Yeah the clamps come in different sizes.. So u could space a set for each slightly off to accommodate which ever heli u were setting up.

Tony · Post by **Tony** » Sun Nov 23, 2014 2:43 pm

Sounds like those clips are an excellent solution Graham, look forward to hearing some end results, I won't mention vids...lol

cml001 · Post by **cml001** » Sun Nov 23, 2014 2:49 pm

There are different sizes to accommodate whatever skid diameter u have...
