Thread: Flight Stands with built in Altitude rings

    I just ordered some of the altitude glue so I'll have to give that a try too!

    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

    aerodromeaccessories.com sells a nice one, but it is marked as out-of-stock right now. The site seems to be having some issues right now (every link redirects to the main page for me) but I was able to find it by doing a search for 'balloon' from the main page.

    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.

    Got some stands ordered today for my 2 Shapeways Fe.2b and the 3 BE.2c that I ordered from the Shapeways sale yesterday.
    Took me several tries to get it through. My cart kept emptying.
    I was glad it was only two items from the same page of the site.

    Does anyone have the firing arcs to enter in to the custom flight stand generator for a B-24?

  21. #121

    Default

    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

    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.

    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?

    Keith,

    What angles did you use to create the two seaters. DH4 and Breguet in particular. I am interested in ordering a couple custom to do a couple of Salmson 2. I have no idea what to use for the firing arcs.

    Thanks!

    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)?

    You had me there for a bit, Rob. I'm thinking, "What new German Bombers?" Checks the Aerodrome store for new WWI bombers. Nothing. Then, doh! WWII bombers! The look good.

    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 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.
