twopounder Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) One issue that just keeps bugging me is that aircraft are using the AI flight stems, which means they just barely clear a baneblade. Does anyone know of a 3rd party flying stem that is 12" or so? I want to make them fly around at the proper elevation. I think I have a couple possible solutions, but wanted to see if there was something easy to just buy for a reasonable price first.

Noserenda Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 You can just buy plastic rod in much longer lengths in stores like Amazon, probably some hardware stores? Just measure the holes and search, my buddy got a bunch of footlong lengths for his resin Valkyries back in the day.

twopounder Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 The issue is the ball at the end to allow temporary fitting. But I can glue the stem to a rod. Was just hoping for an easier solution. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/381753-longer-flight-stems-for-aircraft/#findComment-6004889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacific81 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I've had a look about and not been able to find any that are significantly bigger - generally 35-40mm in length, which is similar to the AI ones I think? All of the other options I have seen over the years have been metal rod or plastic rod as Noserenda has described. If it's any help I've added a magnet to an end of the rod and then to the flier, so you can disassemble for transport. vadersson, MithrilForge, Interrogator Stobz and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/381753-longer-flight-stems-for-aircraft/#findComment-6004919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 From memory the ones for Dropzone are taller, and now come with their attachment widgets. I don't have any of the modern AI aircraft (mine are still metal... :D), so can't say how well they compare yet, but it may be worth a search?
