GliderCG Scale Standard- Center of Gravity (CG) digital balance device, Designed for Large Models up to 88 lbs (40 kg)

GliderCG Scale is our largest CoG balancer for models ranging from 7oz to 88lbs with wingspans up to 26'. The GliderCG Scale is suited for much larger planes that the smaller GliderCG products are unable to measure - models weighing up to 88lbs with giant wingspans. Designed for stability the scale uses larger and stronger supports with a robust base and frame to accomadate the Giant Scale Models. Additionally, the scale is versatile and is able to measure much smaller models at 17oz or less. GliderCG Scale features a sensor in each of the four legs, thus providing very accurate results for CG and lateral measurements. By using four sensors, we eliminate the torsional stress of the planes to obtain stable values while the plane is placed on the GliderCG Scale. Additionally, the GliderCG Scale can calculate the CG of the model in the lateral axis, providing additional information for balancing purposes.

With a solid and sturdy, yet lightweight aluminum structure, the GliderCG Scale is built to fit almost any model.

A fixed width of 14.2 in / 360 mm ensures that GliderCG Scale allows you to move the rear support points to fit virtually any wing size from small models, F5J, F3F etc to large models like GPS or giant scale birds.

Like the proven GliderCG Throw Meter system, the data can be viewed through any web browser on a smartphone, Android or iOS, PC or MAC.

In addition to checking the weight and CoG, pilots can check the weight of each side of the model and store the current configuration of the CoG for several models for future reference.

Power Board - PRO SERIES - Red (4104)

All NEW 4000 SERIES! *with Digital Readout and Touch-button programming.

Description:

Completely redesigned from the ground up, with these new Power Boards you are able to use 2 batteries with redundancy to avoid possible crashes from battery failure. Simply plug in your batteries with XT-60 style connectors to this Power Board Expander (Our LiFe batteries are perfect for this) and you now have 2 batteries working in tandem to supply your servos AND ignition.

These new versions offer SEVERAL new features:
1) Digital read out on all models - displaying voltage going IN and OUT of all devices (see photo)
2) LED and audible alarm for all models that you can set to warn when your system drops below a voltage of your choosing
3) TOUCH button programming to select your warning voltage
4) Wires to your RX are PRE-installed
5) Enclosed lightweight and strong plastic housing
6) XT-60 Connectors

The Power Board board electronically isolates the batteries from each other so that there is no interference possible from your ignition. It also regulates the voltage down to an ideal voltage to your RX (5v) and then is select-able to your servos (yellow and black units only - the red unit offers the same voltage as your batteries to the servos).

You can Plug in, up to 8 servos into the board (12 servos with the Black Power Board), which has 2 outputs for EACH channel, effectively DOUBLING the number of servos you can use in a plane ( a total of 16 output channels) without reducing the amperage (that a Y cable would cause).

These Power Boards also features LED lights to give you clear indication that your batteries are connected and working properly, as well as voltage etc.

They feature a mounting space in the middle to mount your RX and also include mounting hardware to mount it securely to your plane.
