Balancing Giant Scale Planes
Can anybody recommend a balancer for large scale, lets say 33% and up aircraft? As much as I trust my friends I am always a little concerned if my partner is using his fingertip, his fingerpad, two fingers, etc. and is in the exact same spot as me when I check CG on large planes. It takes strong fingers to deal with planes getting close to 30 pounds and heavier.
Not that it is a huge issue but I would like to use something that eliminates the need to put friendship on the line when checking CG. thanks in advance, dan
