GliderCG F3K/DLG (Center of Gravity (CG) digital balance device, Designed to fit small & narrow wings, Works on all RC model airplanes!)

Based on the original development of Olav Kalhovd, GliderCG is a center of gravity (CG) digital balance device for RC planes able to provide the exact information of where the CG is located on the aircraft via a display which also provides information of the aircrafts's total weight.

Simply place the aircraft/sailplane on the scale and obtain it's CG without trying to balance it on your fingers or mark the wings to supporting them on precarious structures.

Once the aircraft/sailplane is placed on the scale, you can vary the CG by moving e.g. the battery and GliderCG will automatically inform you of the new CG in real-time.  Easy and simple!

The GliderCG family was born with the aim of being able to transfer the concept of digital measurement of the CG to the different types of aircraft and radio control gliders. For this reason there is a specific device for each of the different popular disciplines: GliderCG F3K/DLG, GliderCG Standard, GliderCG Plus and GliderCG Scale. There is a device that will work on all RC aircraft.

GliderCG is constantly being improved and has evolved over time to provide more features and enhancements. Today's GliderCG devices are much more modern and advanced than the initial ones produced in 2018.

Based in the GliderCG v2 platform and with the constant desire for improvement, development on all aspects of the device, both hardware and software, to offer an improved device in a compact form factor for easy transport and storage when not in use.

This model version is specifically designed to fit small & narrow F3K/DLG size wings, however will work on all RC model airplanes meeting the weight and dimension limits below listed in specifications.
