Quoted from KornFreak28:They would just be looking at the info and not posting about it since all the postinf has transfered over here
I think Blitzburgh99 is right. Your 1st post is a key post, and based on this anyone can understand this mod, options, prices, leadtime and makes sense to add few pictures too. Unless you don't want more clients 
Quoted from KornFreak28:Do any of you guys know if the flash drive on a Stern machine (Metallica) is the same concept as the Indiana Jones (Williams)? I would like to test the planes now on my Metallica but not sure if the flash drive works the same as it does on IJ....
I am not a Stern expert at all. But based on quick search (only for you ), seems Stern is running at 5V, while B&W at 20V.

Quoted from KornFreak28:Which coil are you talking about? Yes, I have the airball plastic ready to be installed. Last night I went to bed at 3:00am trying to install the light harness! It took me 4 hours! My first time doing a full restore. Today I'll try to knock down the switch harness. I will not ship any planes until I fully test each one on my machine. So I better get this restoration done this week. Btw, Thanks for checking on the Stern info for me
I am talking about 11629 blue flipper coils.
Quoted from gac:Hi Davi - Can you tell me where I can get the anti-airball plastic that goes above the drop targets? Thanks
It's not available. I've decided to create a perfect design by myself, hopefully it will be ready in October (laser cut).
Interested? Let me know.
Quoted from KornFreak28:Looks like I may not be able to finish my restoration this weekend I just noticed the single drop target switch is missing the actuator arm! Probably snapped off during harness cleaning. Now I have to place an order for one. I’ll install the harness but I’m not sure if I should move on to the solenoid harness before replacing the switch? Is the machine going to give me an error message because the switch is missing the actuator arm? Thanks!
[quoted image]
Expect a credit dot linked to drop target. During startup, pin checks the drop target. Without actuator the drop target can't go down without ball hit.

Quoted from KornFreak28:I got 2 types of propellers available for the biplane. A longer one with a cone tip or a shorter prop with no tip. I’ve been working on the longer props but if you like the shorter version let me know. We can do any color you want including chrome. Thanks!
[quoted image]
Wow... Super nice!
Quoted from KornFreak28:Measured the prop once more. It’s just a hair less than 3 inches. If it’s 1.5xx from the center it should fit just fine. If it hits my glass when I test it, I’ll shave them just enough to clear the glass. I honestly think that we are good here
If anybody wants to help out and measure their games please go ahead and do so. Again, this is a team effort!
[quoted image]
I can 3D print a demo propeller (like extended size washer) very quickly and test it if you wish.
Quoted from KornFreak28:Does anybody have any helpful tips on inserting the playfield back in the cabinet without scratching the sides? This is really giving me the creeps....Thanks!
Felt material, glue tape on one side. Onto the side of the playfield. Without protection, only a question of time when are you going to damage the sideart ( like I did).
Screenshot_20180915-210828_Chrome (resized).jpgQuoted from KornFreak28:Davi, I disconnected it and it went away. The problem is that the machine doesn’t fire any coils or flashers during test. Only the Idol and mini playfield rotate. The lights and GI work great. No error messages. But none of the coils get triggered! Any ideas?
Is the coin door closed (interlock switch)?

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Cowling guns for me. Camo on plane. Pilot please. No swastika's.
Biplane with smaller wing spacers, landing gear, tension wires. Wood propeller and chrome nose.
I think Im batch 2, have not received payment request from Ricochet yet.
Are there more options i missed?

This is interesting. The original biplane looks like a masterpiece next to original fighter plastic (hard to call it plane).
George, your fighter looks like a pro next to biplane. Your improvement helps a lot on biplane, but now the fighter is in another league.

My pleasure to announce a useful addition in this creative thread (approved by George ). I would not like to call it "mod", nowadays everything is a mod (light up everything, decal everything).
When I've installed my first airball protector on top of the center lock plastic, I've realized an issue about height of screws, and to be honest, the appereance of plastic over plastic was not the best way - at least for me.
So the idea came up: why not combine the plastic and the airball protector? 2 in 1: minimal height, minimal design.
From concept to reality, after many trials, finally, the latest design fits, and acts as airball protector. I am going to continue the test. As George explained this may solve a height issue at biplane installation.
I hope you like it
20181115_204344 (resized).jpg20181118_182012 (resized).jpg20181118_182117 (resized).jpgThanks for nice words. At this moment, I have only one plastic, in my machine.
In case of interest, I will do a one time run, and send a batch to George. I think it's too risky to send this one by one (and expensive).
Price is depends of number of requests, I can't tell you the price first.
Quoted from KornFreak28:Bob,
You will order the airball protector from Davi. He will in turn ship them all to me and I will ship them along with your planes. Win win for all
Yes, please PM me about protectors. I wouldn't want to ruin his thread.

Guys, quick update here as well:
I have 3 good news about airball protector.
1. The first version was digitally printed, but I was not fully satisfied. It was nice, but I wanted to create the best available, that's why the complete process has been changed to ink-silkscreen printing. This is much more time consuming compared to digital printing: stencil for each color, color mixing, screen print one by one, and color by color.
The result: more vivid colors, better coverage.
2. Another good news, beside the quality improvement: I am not going to change the price.
3. "Oh my God, when this will be ready?" The answer is: the entire batch is ready, I am going to send out next week.
I have very few left, and that's it, this is the first and last batch. When they are gone they are gone.
Have a great weekend!

Quoted from Jazzbouche:I've also been working on a side project which George kindly suggested I post a link here to...
Some new IJ pop bumper Caps. I've posted a little more detail on the main IJ thread, but basically these replace your standard pop caps and light up the macguffins. The set of three will be £120. The version here is the 'ruins' look, for those of you going for high detail. I'll also be exploring a more colourful transparent version to fit the more 'stock play field' look. Let me know if you're interested.

Very nice, well done! Can't wait to see the transparent version!

Quoted from KornFreak28:Batch 4 and plane customers: This is a “blink and it’s gone” opportunity to protect the planes from airballs!
I spoke to my good friend davi about making more “all in one” airball protectors for the 3-bank drop targets and he said he is willing to make another run for you guys!
This is the ONLY protector that works with my planes because it doesn’t raise the Biplane or Tiger Moth towards the glass like other protectors (that simply screw on top of the plastic, raising the biplane) do.
davi protector is spot on and works great. I will be the middle man for Batch 4. I will get the protectors from Davi and will ship them along with your planes to save on shipping unless you really need it now and want Davi to ship it directly to you?
Past plane customers and non-plane customers are welcome to order with Davi directly.
Please advise if you are interested in this protector asap. I’ll ask Davi to post pictures of it here. Don’t miss out!!!
Thanks - here is the link about protector. We are close to lockdown I think, so fingers crossed... I can't promise that the batch will be ready in short term, but I am on it.

Quoted from underlord:I said the same thing to Davi. ‘I’ll take 2 just in case.’ His response: put the one I gave you on. It shouldn’t break anytime soon.
He’s too humble. These things are much thicker and stronger. Plastics have come a log way since 1993.
If this plastic breaks, you have to worry about your house first. Earthquake is not funny
Seriously, in normal circumstances, you don't need 2, unless:
-You really like backups;
-You have a good pinhead friend, and use the spare as a gift;
-You really think about the future of your IJ, and would like to show the old and the ready to go new plastic to the potential new owner;
-You would like to support me.
Guys, about airball protector set, here is the pricing info:
The price of set is $35 plus shipping (same price as in 2019). Shipping is 10-12 USD, depends of location.
Based on requests linked to Planes, I won't charge any shipping cost, but send a pack of sets to KornFreak28 to save on shipping.
The plan is still the same: to create a batch in 2-3 weeks.

...and the wait is over! The screen printed airball protectors are ready.
If you are an actual customer of KornFreak28 (planes, Batch 4), no shipping cost will occur at your end

If you would like to be in, PM me for further details (if you already mentioned your request, (based on your posts or PM) don't worry, I have a list, so no need to repeat your requests).

A big thanks to all of you, especially to KornFreak28 for his offer about combined shipping.

Quoted from KornFreak28:I wanted to give a huge shout out to davi for pretty much saving the plane rescue operation.
Once Covid-19 hit, I was struggling to source Tiger moths for Batch 4. Even my supplier ran out of them. Luckily, I spotted a few on ebay from different sellers (at a much higher price) and that allowed me to work on the first couple of orders.
I thought about buying a different version that was available but I knew the Indy figures would not fit. So I turned to my good friend davi for help.
Luckily he was able to find a whole bunch of them for me and will be shipping them (along with the airball protectors) to me pretty soon.
Needless to say, I’ve been getting ahead of the game by working on all the fighter planes while the Tiger Moths arrive. Thanks davi I owe you one!
No problem - I am happy to help!
Packed and ready to go.

Quoted from plovis:Got my planes installed last night, and somehow they manage to exceed expectations. Korn's enjoyment and attachment to these planes are obvious given the incredible attention to detail and to the time and effort he takes to be sure they arrive to you in pristine condition (seriously, how long does it take you to pack these things?), not to mention the interest he takes to make sure that everything is working as it should. Couldn't be happier with the end result. Its just a blast to see the propeller action mixed in with the game play and going down a few rabbit holes for ways to really get them going. To everyone waiting, just know that its definitely worth it. Many thanks Korn!

Sorry if I am wrong, maybe it's just the lighting - is the protective foil is still on the protector?

Quoted from Johncare07:Thanks Davi for the protectors. After a wait well worth it, the planes live. Really awesome work Korn and thanks for the tech support to help get them working to their full potential. Best mod ever.
Check out this video in action.
You are welcome. Make sure to remove the protective foils (both sides).

Quoted from stlmo:Received my planes and installed them. The planes look absolutely marvelous. They are truly works of art. I have to say something about the service I received. I have never had a better experience in pinball. I received a number of texts asking how install was going and prompting me to test the functions. Turns out a previous owner had reversed the ruin and plane connectors on my machine. My planes worked but very seldom spun the props. Seller spent no less than 2 hours of his time examining videos I sent and sending back photos from his machine until I fixed connectors. UNBELIEVABLE kindness and service. Order these, you won’t regret it. THANK YOU for the awesome addition to my game!!!!
[quoted image]
The airball protector looks a bit cloudy - is the protective foil still on?
Quoted from TimBoch:Foiled again
Seriouisly though, that airball protector has completely changed how my game plays. No more airballs and very predictable rebounds.
You 2 do some great work. Can't wait to get the planes and my spare airball protectors too.
Plus one vote for Mode Start Antidote... It's also a big improvement.
Quoted from underlord:Davi figured out what Williams engineering couldn’t! No more air balls! Hell, even the software has air balls implemented!
Yes, they were aware of the issue, and the code has a ball save function:
-hit drop target
-activate left outlane switch immediately
Then a new ball is served to shooter lane.
And no wonder why the tall ball guide is on the left side.

Quoted from KornFreak28:I’m sure some of you won’t respond or won’t be interested anymore.
My experience:
90%: cool guy, quick response.
5%: slower response, but cool guy.
5%: "I am in" (many times), then once the stuff is ready, radio silence and my message is deleted based on Pinside system, while the guy is active in the forum. For some it's really hard task to click to "reply", then type "Sorry (optional ), I am not interested anymore".

Quoted from Ashram56:That would be interesting indeed
Just need to figure out the logistics, I'm based in France, so it might be better to buy a new set of rails and ship them for painting, but can't find them on Marco...
Send it to me, I am going to send a package soon to Kornfreak28.

Quoted from EricInAlaska:Can you post a couple photos of the Davi protectors?
I just PM'd him to try to get a set so they'll accommodate my Korn planes when I get them.
I will post some pictures soon.
(And maybe George and I will cooperate in order to avoid Europe-USA shipping cost for his customers.)

Quoted from mmr61184:Have any of you heard from Davi lately? I ordered a plane protector plastic from him about month ago and got it. We were going back and forth on which version I should buy since there is slight color variation. I decided to order the other one I reached out, her replied back I sent the money and haven't heard from him since. I am not worried that he screwed me I was just surprised I haven't heard anything especially how responsive he has been in previous exchanges.
I was on Holiday. No worries, your protector is on the way to you since 7th of June.
