GliderCG Throw Meter and Wing Incidence Tool (Multi-Purpose Digital Angle Throw Meter, and can measure the dihedral angle of a wing, measure incidence angles, etc.) 

GliderThrow is a digital Angle/Throw meter that provides differentials, too! This small device can measure the deflections in degrees / millimeters with a resolution of 0.1 degrees and can measure the differential when working together with a second unit (since GliderThrow is a system that utilizes two sensors, one for each wing or surface of your airplane).

Using a dual system simplifies the throw setting of your model by having a direct view of both control surfaces at the same time.GliderThrow was initially conceived for setting the aileron and flap throws of a model glider. However, you will find that it can be used on most every airplane and for a variety of applications, such as measuring the dihedral angle of a wing, measuring incidence angles, etc.

The data can be viewed through any web browser on a smartphone, Android or iOS, PC or MAC. GliderThrow does not need any app to work. When turning on both units, search with your smartphone or PC for WiFi AP (access point) called "GliderThrow" and connect to it. Once connected, you will access the GliderThrow device through your web browser.

A powerful Neodymium magnet along with a non-slip surface ensures that GliderThrow stays in place.

The latest version incorporates rechargeable and replaceable Li-Ion coin batteries as well as the ability to charge through the USB-C port. This allows the removal of the battery if it is not being used for an extended period of time.

GliderThrow Wing Incidence Tool

Stacks Image 94

Measuring the incidence (angle between the wing and horizontal stabilizer centerlines) is easy with our Wing Incidence Tool.

Merely use the GliderThrow units with the Wing Incidence Tool!

Five easy steps:

  • Setup your plane on the bench in a horizontal position.
  • Install the Wing Incidence Tool on the wing and stab and lock them in place by tightening the screws on each part.
  • Place both GliderThrow units on a level surface and reset them.
  • Place each unit on the magnetic support of each beam (place GliderThrow units with hinge marking towards the leading edge).
  • View the incidence angle on GliderThrow's "Differential" screen.

Description:

Bob Smith Industries CA Glue

Super-Gold+™ Odorless, CA

SUPER-GOLD™ and SUPER-GOLD+™ are our odorless INSTA-CURE CAs They are non-frosting and take only 2 or 3 seconds longer to bond. There are no fumes that irritate the nose and eyes. The SUPER-GOLD™’s do not attack white foam; therefore, they can be used in the building of foam core wings and the assembly and repair of plastic and foam ARF’s. They will not fog clear plastic. SUPER-GOLD+™ is ideal for attaching clear canopies in plastic model kits; however, MAXI-CURE™ is still recommended for assembling the rest of plastic kits. Wood can be bonded to white foam with SUPER-GOLD +™ in less than fifteen seconds. For bonding foam to foam, spray a very light fog of INSTA-SET™ to one piece and apply SUPER-GOLD+™ to the other before joining. Excess INSTA-SET™ may create too much heat, which can melt the foam. Both SUPER-GOLD™’s cure to a more flexible consistency for better shock absorbtion. Whenever a large amount of CA is to be used in such applications as saturating fiberglass or Kevlar, SUPER-GOLD™ eliminates the irritating fumes from the evaporating monomer that make repeated use of CA unpleasant at times.

 

Works Best On:

  • Rubber
  • White Foam

Works Good On:

  • Balsa Wood
  • Soft Wood
  • Hard Wood
  • Glass & Metal
  • Fiberglass
  • Ceramics
  • Hard Plastics
  • Laminating
  • Water-Resistant
  • Reinforcing
  • CA Hinges

 

Avaliable in 2oz and 3/4 Pocket Size.

Pocket CAs feature a new top that has a pin built into the cap that covers the nozzle. This pin seals the bottle so that if it is tipped over, the bottle will not leak. This makes the Pocket CAs ideal for keeping in your tool or field box, just like our IC-Gel. One disadvantage that the new Pocket CA top has is the bluntness of the nozzle. This makes it more difficult to apply small amounts of the CA, especially in tight places. From the feedback we have received, it appears about 25-30% of users prefer the new Pocket CA top, which means that over 70% prefer our standard top for general bonding purposes. Most users are buying both types. Our original top for the workshop, and the Pocket CA for use out in the field. The 3/4 oz. Pocket CAs are available in BSI's Insta-Cure, Insta-Cure+, Maxi-Cure and Super-Gold+. BSI's new extender tip #304 works on the Pocket CA.

Booma RC Wallaby Switch II with Active Dual Battery Redundancy and Voltage Monitoring

Description:

Booma RC

If you want a switch that offers complete dual battery balancing and redundancy with an ultra-small footprint for your scale model then look no further. The new Booma RC intelligent redundant battery balancing switch is the answer.

This switch works with any single or dual battery system. Works with battery chemistry and voltage range from 2.5v to 28v. It comes with a Pin Flag and Ultra Bright Blue LED which can be mounted discretely on your scale model. The Pin Flag controls the internally mounted switch and battery redundancy circuit. The result - beautiful scale appearance with dual battery redundancy peace of mind.

This new balancing technology offers zero voltage drop battery balancing and redundancy which means it can handle huge loads without generating heat. This also means your receiver and servos get all the power unlike conventional battery balancing which loses precious power as heat.

Package Includes:

  • 1 x Pin Flag Switch with mounting hardware.
  • 1 x Ultra Bright Blue LED with mounting hardware.
  • 1 x Dual Battery Balancing power switch circuit.
  • 2 x sets of Input and Output JR connectors.

 

 

Specs:

 

 

  • Ultra low foot print for the best scale looks.
  • Works with single or dual battery configuration.
  • Works with all battery chemistries. LiFe. LiPo, Lion, NiMh, NiCD. Battery voltage range can be from 2.5volts to 28 volts.
  • Capable of handling input voltages up to 28volts.
  •  Minimal external footprint - All you see on the outside of your model is a 3mm Pin Flag socket and (if required) an ultra-high bright Blue LED. The Pin Flag controls the internal power switch and dual battery redundancy.
  • Full Dual Battery Redundancy - If one battery fails the other battery takes full control.
  •  Maximum Battery Power Balancing - In a dual battery system HS1 draws current proportionally from both batteries while moving both batteries to a complete load balance situation. This means you get the maximum capacity out of both batteries all the time.
  • 2 x 25 amp independent circuits. HS1 is 2 x 25amp circuits into a high power matching battery redundancy circuit. HS1 actually uses 4 x 50 amp rated FET circuits for battery power matching. We passively rate HS1 at 25amps per circuit.
