Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I tried this solution and it did increase the resistance on the dials slightly, as well as helped to keep the dials on the pegs when the plane and other pegs were removed (i.e. for storage or transport).
I got 1/8" from the plumbing supply section of my local hardware store, and they worked great.
I've recently purchased some altitude dials from ebay made by Litko. Unfortunately they're missing the white climb counter dial. Where can I purchase the climb counter dials? They really help clean up the plane console.
The flight stands I think you are referring to are sold at aerodromeaccessories.com
I'm Calling on the Powers that be for recommending flight stands for a balloon?? I have a Shapeway Balloon and before I go cutting, slicing, dicing and gluing on it, I would like some professional help on this one....Which one would y'all recommend for it??
Thanks
Yeah, The site seems busted. It will get up soon. I have some stands I need, too.

I tried looking for miniatures today and every click just cycled me back to the main page.
Even tried the Sails link - same thing.
It was working fine a couple of days ago.
It is indeed still doing that, although I can access my account page.
It was all working yesterday when I ordered some bases.

Once things are up and running again (I did manage to order a LL coin and some decals the other day...), I need to order some bases, too. A couple more balloon bases are in order, as well as a couple of Felixstowe bases...
I hope Keith is able to break free some time to cobble those sorts of things together - I really do like his bases a lot
All the best,
Matt
Okay, I've sorted that problem out and it should be working for everyone now.
As to the bases that are out of stock, I'll try and get more of those cut in the next week.
Thanks, Keith! You've sure had your hands full lately with the Forum and its foibles...
Hope you can have so down time tomorrow with the family as the holidays kick into gear.
All the best,
Matt
I've restocked some of the flight stands and spinning props on the AA store.
Thanks for the Heads Up Keith.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Thanks, Keith. That must have been it.
I used to be able to log in at the end.
Once I did I was good to go.
Does anyone have the firing arcs to enter in to the custom flight stand generator for a B-24?
The problem with the stand generator is that it cannot generate 360 turret arcs. Don’t know if you can produce your own SVG files (Illustrator or suchlike) so you can put your own arcs in and send that to Keith. Failing that, have a word with him and see if he can add the arcs at his end
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Flight stands are certainly in stock Felix.
No spinning props at present as far as I can see.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Well, in the store there are three options: Gotha GV or Caproni CA3 (larger bases because bombers, I assume) and "Rear gunner only"... I'm not sure if those qualify as "basic stands". I don't know how these bases look, so I can't tell if they are the basic fighter stands, but I don't think so.
I didn't try to put the spinning props in a cart yet but as far as I can tell, there are two-, three- and four-bladed props available, in two sizes each.
Do we have unequal informations or am I missing something?
Contact Herr Oberst via the store page Felix - he should be able to update you direct.

Flight stands are here Felix.

And I missed the props because I went direct to All products and they don't feature there. They are on the front page with the pictures.

That's nice! At first, I only meant to order the basic fighter stands and didn't thought about the props, but the shapeways don't have those, so I would order them as well. I have to calculate when I come home from work. At most, I need 60 (because maybe for the original minis as well) in total for both wars, so the props will be all over the place, 2,3 and 4s... I want to place an order today or tommorrow, shall I wait till your response for the props?
Is there any Friedrichshafen G3 bases available ?
I have those in stock now.
I honestly don't recall. I made them to match the cards/official flight stands. Maybe print out a protractor and check them (I'm on my phone and don't have a printer to use right now)?
Check the site on Friday.
Spot on, thanks Herr Oberst
Got my package today, gosh, the stands look amazing!!!!
But there is the problem with the pegs which I didn't realized until now... well, there was no toher option than these stands, let's see if I find a solution.
Gosh, Ares really NEEEEEEEDS to reprint the pegs...
Yeah they do!
Just tried to purchase some single seater flight stands and the only option it will give me is two seaters!
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Thanks Herr Oberst.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Awesome! Been wanting some myself. Any news on pegs by ares or anybody else? I need some extras pretty badly!
Hi Keith.
Are you intending to produce flight stands for the new German Bombers?
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Great Keith.
I will now place my order for the four aircraft plus bases. They can all then be sent as one order.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Hey! I've noticed that there are none basic flight stands and just one two-seater flight stand available. I would love to buy some of these, I would need 16 normal and 2 two-seaters (I suppose they have an rear arc, too? Can someone provide me a photo of them?)
Any chance when they're in stock again? I hope it's when they're still around 9x10 gimbal mounts available^^

I am going to try and get some cut this week and back on the site.
Awesome!
This is the best news of the week so far
I had some arrive today, and though I did manage to snap one in two trying to force a peg in, I really like them!
I plan to order some more!
Superglue does wonders for repair! Though the base is a little cloudy now
Sometimes they just need the burr around the hole kissing with a needle file Mike.
That usually stops the bases cracking. I have found that the tolerance on different batches of pegs vary a bit.
