Having recently acquired a Flagg after a long period of time and much sweat and tears (and money) i have decided to upgrade this baby for modern figure use.....
Had a couple Q's for the members on here 1. Do the seats from the 1983 HQ fit in the flagg? (the Flagg seats have pegs in the middle which wont fit with 25th and up figs i assume) 2. how important are the 2 Y pins? (i cant find these anywhere!) 3. If you own one what type of aircraft do you have on it? i hear that smaller vehicles make alot more sense as to not to overcrowd the deck (people have said that 3-4 skystrikers are the limit) I already had some ideas on what i would be using (resolute dragonflys, skyhawks, sky sweeper jets, PTE blackhawk) but wanted to get 2nd opinions cheers in advance guys |

The Y pins aren't that important, mainly just secure the tower to the deck, but it'll sit just fine without them on a sturdy table
as for what's on mine, here's some pics of various set ups I've had: Forces of Valor Apache, Skystriker Conquest, Skystriker, Big Guy(The robot), Robotech Vehitech Fighter And this is how it typically looks when it's clean Light box & Lights, Pile of figures, Skystriker (Typically covered and hidden by the pile of figures), Big Guy, some other vehicle (Constantly changing) |

I'd definitely stick to the smaller scale vehicles. As the pic above shows, a true 1:18 scale Black Hawk screams at just how out of scale it really is.

The key to the Y-pins is that whatever you assemble the ship on is stable, like someone said. The prety much keep the tower with the deck. You could put a nail in there to solve the problem until you track some Y-pins down.
I actually use my Flagg as the U.N. carrier 101 Prometheus for 1/60 veritech fighters.

I would like to have another aircraft on mine I am just deciding which one, but for now it's the Skystiker and the Weapons Transport.

If I had a Flagg I would probably rotate with these vehicles...
Skystriker custom painted Skystriker (an actual F-14 Squadron) Night Boomer Tomahawk Phantom X-19 SHARC Devil Fish and the WHALE docked at her side. I'd leave the Conquest out as it really doesn't look like it was meant to land on the Flagg (some real USAF jets have arrestor hooks but really aren't meant to land on a carrier).
