Quick questions about the Flagg

[NC Joe]

I've really been considering purchasing a U.S.S.Flagg over the last little bit. I need to know the following dimensions for the flagg so i can make sure I have room for it. Any help would be appreciated!

How tall is it from ground to mast?
How tall is it from ground to deck?
How wide is it at it's widest point?
How long is it?
About how much does it weigh?

Hope that's not asking too much...thanks in advance!

ground to top of mast=3.5 feet
ground to deck= 6 inches
widest point= about 3.5 feet
length=7.5 feet
I'd say 25 to 35 lbs. but I don't have any of mine set up currently

something you need to keep in mind when setting it up is that aside from the bridge, it's really only supported by 'beams'. you need to make sure that what it is set on is evenly flat and sturdy.

AND DO NOT MOVE IT! If it needs to be moved and can slide on a smooth surface, remove ALL deck pieces and the Bridge, because the pegs of the under the deck structure WILL SNAP(I've learned from experience). And if you can't slide it across a smooth surface(don't move across a rug/carpet) you will definately need to complete dissassemble it(should only take about 15 mins.)

oh, and when moving it around, don't forget to pull the deck pins out. they will pop out and disappear otherwise. :D

as long as you push it with one hand at about the 1/3 mark forward and the 1/3 mark aft you don't have the problem, but if you move one end at a time, the structure will be warped, which will cause the pins to snap and/or go flying many feet. As long as your careful though, it's not a big deal moving it

Here is a good ideal of how much space you will need to dedicate to the Flagg.

That's an 8 foot table that is almost 3 feet wide.

I'm buying a curtain for that very reason. I don't want t0 risk any sun damage. I'm sure it will be ok. But I'm going to play it safe.

I have a similar setup I'm working on. I've got a few display cases, so I'm taking two that are 8 feet long and 2 feet deep, 4 feet tall and putting them parallel, with a 2 foot gap between them. Lowes has these insulation foam sheets that are in a light blue, and 8 feet long, 4 feet wide. Set that on top of the cases, with 1 foot of the top of each case oncovered to keep light in the cases. Stick the flagg on the foam for a very nice display of it at sea. I'll also have enough space to stick an escort of 2 killer whales on each side. Just need some time to organize the display room before I can even think about doing that

anybody knows the exact maximum width?

I'm 99% sure it's 3.5 feet, I've measured it before. I can dig out one of my main decks and measure the width, and then add 6 inches to it for the deck house if you'd like, and that should get you the measurment within about 2 inches

What he said ^^^ yeah I have mine on a 8x4 wood panel I have on the floor right now to keep it off the floor a little, I got a row of POC HIss tanks sitting in front of it with the extra half a foot on the front along the deck...

I´ll build a concrete structure for my flagg with "window" doors (glass) with 10 feet long and -now i know that it will be more than- 3.5 feet wide. thank you, fellow tankers.

Thanks for this pic!!!! I've been searching everywhere trying to find detailed pics of the support/super-structure.

I'm seriously considering just buying the deck pieces and command tower and re-designing the beams/support structure. I'd like it to be a little taller than 6 inches from ground to deck, and if possible make a bottom for it. With all that empty space under the deck I'd like to be make into a workable hangar to store a couple of skystrikers/conquests/ghoststrikers.
