Ghost Stand/Upsilon Thought

By j_man_04, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

Since the Upsilon is *super* awkward to fly, even with the wings up, I decided to try it on my Ghost stand.

Without a modification, it may be too heavy, but my Ghost stand came screwed up. So I ended up gluing a magnet on the bottom of the stand, and another magnet onto one of my large bases (picture for you visual folks at the end of the post. It's a pretty strong magnet).

The two pieces that are designed to support the back of the Ghost are actually super helpful for moving the Upsilon around without touching the ship at all, which has helped keep the wings pointing straight up.

Anyways, just thought I'd share this in case anyone else likes flying the Upsilon but has trouble moving it around the board.
