First off and apology - I know this question has done the rounds in the past:oops:but...
I'm lurking at the moment and am putting together various lists of components and plans to get my pit started. One of the biggest hurdles I'm facing is working out how to build a good MIP stand - there doesn't seem to be any one particular way of doing it (half the fun of the self-build right!).
I was wondering if anyone out there had a good set of plans for a 737 MIP stand. Mike Latham very kindly sent me a set of plans last week which I think were originally posted on the 737ng.bg site - but even they require the builder to improvise a touch in order to get things put together (I'm not that good unfortunately :(). So what's required is a bit more of a "MIP stands for dummies" type of plans. I realise that this might be a big ask - most of you have invested many hours putting your stands together - so I would understand if you were reluctant to let me have them (no hard feelings either!).
One thing I've also noticed with the stands available from the major manufacturers is that they don't always get the lower panel angle and shape quite right - I think this is due to the fact they are working with sheet aluminium rather than MDF. This has put me off buying - at least for now.
Finally, does anyone know of any self-builders using this forum located in Scotland - near or thereabouts to Glasgow?
Thanks all
