THE ROD ALTITUDE SYSTEM
METAL AIRCRAFT PIN:
NOTE: This system
is best used with
1/144th scale models
Drill a hole in the model and glue a
metal pin in place. The pin should be
large enough to allow a snug fitting
when inserted into an "Altitude Rod".
The Pros:
• Can be an inexpensive system.
• Simple and fast to mount
aircraft onto stand.
• Fairly fast and easy to make
altitude changes.
• Probably best system for
1/144th scale air games.
• Rods can be wooden, metal, or
plastic.
• Most hobby shops carry the
basic materials.
• The metal pin can also work
with the Alligator Clip/
Antenna Stand systems.
The Cons:
• There tends to be a lot of parts.
• These many parts can get lost.
• Not that good for 1/72nd scale.

pin securely, but
not too loose.
Each "Altitude Rod" can fit
either into or over the "Base
Rod". The length of each
rod is subjective, but for
1/72nd scale try 2" per level
and for 1/144th scale try 1"
per level. Can also be inserted
directly into the game stand.
You can label each rod by
number or color (or both) to
distinguish each altitude level.

Insert Base Rod into

THE BASIC GAME STAND
Game Stands are homemade, usually
wooden and hexagonal or square in shape.
Drill hole should be slightly larger than diameter of the
"Base Rod"; hole should go through both sides of stand.

1) 3.5" is the minimum width for a stand (for 1/72nd scale models).
2) 3/4" is a good thickness for a stand; use plywood or particle board.
3) Drill six or seven large holes into bottom of game stand; holes do not go all
the way through; each hole should be large enough to hold between
5 and 6 metal washers; may also fill holes with pewter/lead or pennies.
4) Glue a cardboard base over holes to hold in washers.
