Aerodrome Antenna Base

thingiverse

This plastic base is designed to hold a 32 CM telescoping antenna off amazon ( specifically: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N41BCXG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). I've made the tolerances on this extremely tight so I wouldn't have to glue the antenna in, it will require some force and I had to use a rubber mallet to tap the antennas down into the opening of the tube at the top of the base. I later added washers to the base for added weight. The hexagon base measures 44 mm from 'side to side' and 50.5 mm from longest point to longest point. This is on average smaller than the scale used in typical games of Aerodrome ( 2.5 inches ). However, it will serve the purpose well for smaller scale antennas and 1/144 scale.
