Kit, finished wings and tail storage ideas?

I don’t have a ton of room for the build but the area I’m building has a pretty tall ceiling and bare walls. Looking for recommendations on how to hang or store build recommendations. Have some finished wings and tails to get out of the way and some loose and unfinished kits as well. Thoughts? Pics?

Thanks!
 
I hung everything on the wall.
For the wings, horizontal stab, and flaps:
-Lag hooks into studs.
-Tie down straps to hoist parts off the deck.
-Padding between the straps and items on the bottom where the weight is supported.
For all the lighter bits I used rope through attach/pivot points to hang from the lag hooks.
Years of cumulative storage on the walls with no issues.
 
Wings in a cradle on wheels. It also served as an easel to hold plans. "J" hooks in ceiling joists with 2" strap held all the tail parts.
