    Thats war path material . I like the way they hang by there skids tail down , space saving that way then you can fit more helis in garage

      I sometimes hang helis in a similar way.

      Don't forget - when it's in a hover, all the weight of the heli is being supported at exactly the same point from the main blades as where your hanging points are, so as far as I rekon, it'll be just fine.
      Yeah but surely when flying, the loads on the dampeners are fairly even due to pitch changes & other forces?
      I would have thought hanging by the head would distort or compress the dampeners 'Unevenly'?

      Although I appreciate it would probably have to hang for a bloody long time though
