Post title really says it all. I want to be able to include aircraft in my wargames. Thanks!

Go to a hardware story and pock up telescoping magnetic picker-uppers. Look for noes that have a screw in the other end of the handle. Unscrew it, and get longer ones.
DIY method.

I made mine, so can't give advice there, but…

If going the DIY route check out old rabbit-ears for TVs – rare (in the US at least) now that broadcast is digital, but good source for a twofer.

The (usually) too-long sections can be cut down to increase stability and/or improve aesthetics.

Monophagos,

If you send an e-mail to me at the following address, I'll see what I can do to assist you, if you are interested:

The ones I have work very well with 1/300th and 1/144th scale aircraft, amongst others.

Thanks everybody for replies.
Mako11, I would be using 1/72nd scale, so not sure if yours would work but I appreciate your offer! ;-)

Mako11's will work for 1/72s…
I have some and they do wonders.
