Well... On my last road trip to Tulsa, I had one of my ceiling retaining straps break on each leg of the trip... Both times the suspended plane fell. No damage the first time, but on the way home I lost a canopy from a puncture/crush.
So time to think up a new way, and this is what I did:
First, 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC "L" brackets made and affixed to the side wall.

The neat thing is they fold flat so I can easily move about the trailer securing the bottom planes first.

Then, covered in foam rubber, and some moving blanket affixed to the side wall just in case.

Test fit, all looks good.

Finally, a foam covered bungee strap to keep the plane from sliding around too much.

This rig is holding the EF 74" Laser in these pics, and I'm confident it'll work for any 35cc and below plane... what do you think? Am I crazy for not putting a screw into the brackets just in case the end cap on the top fails? Obviously they'd then be locked outward...
