While securing screws with thread locking material is a great solution of screws coming out due to vibration, this is a tough job when you want to remove screws. The solution to this problem is simple, just heat the tip of the screw with a soldering iron for a few seconds and then try loosen the screw with screw driver.

If you want a better storage for your rc jets and rc airplanes, just buy some portable shelves from a hard ware store near you. This shelve can be fixed on the wall and if you remove the planks out, you can store rc airplanes and rc jets’ wings and fuselages on top of each other for better storage.

You can secure antennas properly by cutting a soft plastic tube of around an inch and pass the antenna wire from it. You can glue the tube with the fuselage at the length where antenna stretches easily. Secure the antenna wire with the tube by pushing in a pin head.
Avoid accumulation of dust on your radio transmitters and rc airplane and rc jet internal parts. You can use some stiffed brushes and canned compressed air.
