The moment a lot of you have been waiting for, the flight stands are now back in stock!
These new stands are termed V3, or version 3 as I have made some improvements to them.
The first thing you will most likely notice is that the climb rate dial is now white and covers the numbers 0-8. The move to white for the part will make it much easier to read how many climb counters you plane has. Add the 0 to this dial also allows for a more elegant method of showing a plane has no climb counters.
Another major change to the bases is the actual shape of them. The old style bases had larger rounded corners and matched up with the official cards. These new bases have much smaller corners and match up with the official flight stand bases that come with the minis.
Last but not least, I have re-worked the arrow and line at the front and back of the bases to be easier to use and match more with the official stands. The small "stat box" on the rear of the base has also been removed to clean things up some.
Some sizing issues of the old bases do to quality control have also been addressed and corrected in V3.
I have high confidence in my new supplier that the long delays for restock are well past us (at least for my products, I can't speak for the minis LOL).
I will be making my last shipment run before leaving for Origins this Monday morning... so if you want your new bases to go out before the end of the month, got your order in!
