Does anyone who owns these flight stands know if they can handle the 1/200 AIM planes?

Thanks

I only use them with 1/600. They might be able to handle them if they are light weight, but if you're using them to distinguish between flight levels, they're too small for that – each level is 3/8".

Yea, after really looking at them I can see how they might not work. I'll order from CorSec.

What rules are you using for the AIM planes? AIM can provide flight stands that will work with several different rule sets and are specifically designed to use AIM planes.

CY6

AIM has CY6 Stands. Excellent quality. The only stands I use.

I don't think the CY6 stands have the ability to bank/dive/climb, do they?

CorSec stands look to be as good a quality compared to the AIM stands, and are slightly less expensive.
