The SV-262 stand parts have a longer skirt than the VF-31 part, pictured above. So while it will be able to fit over the Standing Adapter, it will not sit all the way in, due to that offset "kink" in the printed adapter. I think it'll still fit enough to hold but I'd exercise caution with any orientation that will cause lateral stress to the joint. Sorry, don't have the parts here or I'd show them fitted to better illustrate. By the way, wonderful job on the new design, CY - the bevelled tab on the adapter now makes fitting these up to the stand parts soooo much easier! Thanks mickyg for the info. I hadn't tried the standing adapter with the 262 fighter mode cradle, I had only thought about the banking adapter when I had email CY. Quote
mickyg Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 It's by far the harder of the two to deal with. And my own setup would actually work better with the banking adapter as well. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 31, 2017 Author Posted March 31, 2017 I have my 262 in hand. I will be working on a revised adapter this weekend. Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted April 2, 2017 Author Posted April 2, 2017 Some new adapters to accommodate the SV-262. Regular vs 262 Quote
mickyg Posted April 2, 2017 Posted April 2, 2017 What a simple method to deal with the skirt. Here I was thinking you'd need to remove material from your existing design when it's as simple as adding a bit more! Excellent! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted April 2, 2017 Author Posted April 2, 2017 I thought about doing that, but than it wouldn't be reversible. Quote
cmal Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 How do the 262 adapters look on the non-262 brackets? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 A little bit taller. I can take pictures this evening. Quote
ritt0r Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 Are these going to be just for the 262 or will they become the norm for the DX adapters? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 They'd work for both, but they will have their own item page on the webstore. I won't remove the current style. Quote

anubis20 Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Glad i didnt get rid of my VE-1 adapter just got another VE-1 and this adapter is a must IMO Quote
mickyg Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Coupla Delta Valks on a Beta stand. No problem! Quote
mickyg Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks guys! Still trying to figure out how I could do one inverted or at least have both on their sides so the canopies are facing each other. The adapters aren't particularly tight for these things though and I'm almost certain the valk would just fall out of it. The 262 is a definite, it's really just resting in the adapter "cradle." So perhaps I should focus on the 31 as the cradle for it actually seems to grab hold of the contact points a lot more solidly. Quote

If it's the VF-31, maybe Yeti can cook up with an adapter that can slot in a gap in-between the back plate and the charging pod? Quote
Saburo Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Got the adapter shipment today and they work great, thank you CY! Quote
seti88 Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 bravo! thats a nice delta display! I wonder if its possible to display the lil drakens flying alongside too when they come out? Quote

I wonder if its possible to display the lil drakens flying alongside too when they come out? Should be if the pegs remain the same like the Ghosts set. Just noticed those arms are longer or have more pivot points than the ghosts so definitely possible with the pegged base Yetistand. Quote

Now that I've seen it, it's not quite as extreme as I was originally thinking. Still, going to be tricky to get any sort of angle approaching 90 with the standard Draken clear cradle. I'll have to experiment a little to see what's possible. EDIT: Wow, make that anything approaching 45 degrees. Just tried it and it comes unclipped very easily. Seems the Draken is a bit top-heavy with reference to the mounting point on the bundled cradle. Edited April 18, 2017 by mickyg Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 haven't seen this thread in a while, but had a question. Are custom etched bases a thing yet? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted June 8, 2017 Author Posted June 8, 2017 Unofficially, yes. If you send me a design, I well have it etched on a Beta for you. Quote
mickyg Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Working on getting the cabinet fully stocked and I'm probably a quarter of the way in this shot. I love the flexibility the shelf adapter gives, especially for keeping the VF-27 really close the way it is. It's a bummer you pretty much have to use two arms, but I don't see any way to simplify. Hopefully the stress on the shelf that this lever arrangement applies, is safe. It certainly seems to be. Love it! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted June 29, 2017 Author Posted June 29, 2017 Looks awesome! I have had a detolf mount on each of the shelves in my detolf since I first made them last year. No concerns so far, and I don't expect there will be. Just to be safe, I wouldn't recommend branching off with dual arms and knuckles, as that would end up concentrating considerable weight to the edge of the glass. Quote
