The green one I used citadel plastic glue on and the neck of the stem broke right at the ball. Seemed like it melted through. So I got a new stem and cut the ball off (now the ball is stuck inside) and it just fell off again. I just bought the red guy and he has a similar issue of the ball being stuck inside.
I've found that the clear plastic that those flying stands are made out of at least feel like they're a different type of plastic, so I avoid using plastic glue.
Use plastic cement to attach the stick to the base before attaching the bike to the stick Put super glue on the bottom of the bike and attach it to the stick.
I chopped off the ball and drilled out the model at the correct angle for them to just slip on and friction fit. It's the only way to party with flying bases (trust me, been playing Eldar a long time).
Fill the hole on the underside of the bike with superglue, stick the round nubby bit of the stand in it. Wait for it to dry, clip the bike off the stand, and glue a magnet onto the bike, and another onto the clipped stand, so you can separately transport bikes and stands to save room.
I tried the magnets I had on hand (little squares pulled from dead VCR's) & failed due to the glue type I used (Gorilla Clear Grip), however since it's semi squishy I just went with gluing it in & never bothered gluing the base to the stick & just had a hole drilled in the base for it.
Bruh I got you.
My man!
Those are awesome I just dropped an order. They’ll be real handy for my fiancées tau too
Great solution but terribly expensive for what it is
Do you still glue the bottom to the base? Cause mine keeps coming off on the base. It stays connected to the bike but not the base
Magnets
Magnets
I chopped the ball off the stem and magnetized using greenstuff world rotation magnets.
Ok cool my fiancée just got some magnets for her broadside battlesuit so I can steal some off her to try this.
That's what I did
If you dont mind them being permanently on use superglue, thats what I did and they’ve been rock solid since.
Blu-tac and prayer
SUPER GLUEEEE

Magnets, as someone who played in the ‘00s and flying stands were eventually more superglue than plastic.
Magnetise the arms and the stands. Nightmare to travel with otherwise!
I kept the ball and used blu-tac to hold them together when i play
Magnets and bike spokes bent at 90 degrees super strong and sturdy, 12 bucks on Amazon last you 3k in bikes

Not being snarky, but friction and gravity. If they get too loose, I'll have to put in magnets.
I threw the stands away and glued on a big terrain piece rock, which I magnetized.

That’s the good news. You don’t!
Off topic, but that base is cool as hell

I cut the ball off the stand and drilled the hole in the bike a bit deeper. Works perfectly.
I’ve found they fit okay but are just slightly too small and do drop down easily.
Magnetized the stem
No, I just replace them with terrain rocks
I had to magnetize it

magnetized them. then decided there's no point, so they are glued now.
Magnets, green stuff and super glue...
Magnets > Epoxy > Superglue
That's the neat part. You don't.
