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!

I really like all the improvements to the stands. Really nice. The only exception is the white dial. Could you supply the black dial as an option. Otherwise really nice.

I have a limited supply of the old dials left. If you put a note in your order, I'll swap them out while supplies last. When they run out, the new dials will be supplied.

I should try and get a photo of these new ones on a game mat. The white dial looks pretty good on colored mat... they don't show up very well on the white background I use for all of my products.

I got them in, but there are some issues with the center peg not being centered :D I have to go through and see if I have any that correct. Turn around time from this new shop is normally about 6-10 days, so it should get sorted quick enough. Origins will most likely be the hold up.

Is it possible to order just the small dials and pointers without the stand?

Oberst Hajj

Not at this time. How many sets of dials are you wanting? I might be able to do a special order.

Have to look, but I think at least 20 for all my aircraft - what would they cost?

Please, please please!!:please::pray:
I got an envelope from FFG last week - I had asked for 12 (yeah, I know, but I was more than willing to pay for them), but they sent four. And one of those was broken!!:mad:

16 June scouts in stock, checked yesterday and out of stock, don't know how many the Oberst got but 6 weeks and all gone. Surely this shows the popularity not only of the product but also a lot of aircraft out there playing the game. nicely done Oberts, giving credit where its due :) :salute:
