Does anyone know how the flight stands in WI310 are made?

They look like CorSec ruler segments but I'm not sure.

Can you post a pic so I can see them? I can probably tell.

There is one tiny picture in this PDF, mostly blocked by a wingtip.

I sorta think I have seen those bases before but not the rods. I'll look up the magazine next time I'm in the local shop and see if it jogs my memory.

I looked at them in the magazine. Unless there is a company producing them then I'm kinda sure they are custom jobs. The rods are probably something similar to our Omni-Rulers and the gimbal looks like the ones that are commonly used on Wings of War planes. I think Aerodrome sells them. It's basically a small ball bearing and a ring magnet. The opposite of my method where the ball is the magnet.

I swear I've seen those bases before but I can't remember.

I wrote that article in WI310. The gimbal is our 'Yank & Bank' product. Let me know if you have any questions about our products or the article.
