Here's a simple "recipe" to
make a set of compatible stands. Following the instructions below will cost
about $10 per stand. You can improve on the price and/or features by
being creative, but keep in mind that failed experiments cost money too
and the method below is tested and guaranteed to work. - Order this list from CorSec:
- At the hardware store, get:
- 8x 2" steel washers (OSH has them for $0.40/ea, or $0.32/ea if you buy a box of 25)
- Gorilla glue
- A can of Krylon Fusion yellow spray paint
- Use
the Gorilla Glue to glue 2 washers to the bottom of each CorSec hex
base (clamp them tightly for 24 hours while they dry - Gorilla glue
expands!). These add needed weight to the base so the plane is harder to
knock over when the rod is extended.
- Spraypaint the underside of each green indicator yellow.
Each
time you play, screw together a rod, dial, indicator and hex base. The
color of the indicator indicates the skill of the pilot, and where it
points indicates the speed. |
