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.

Miracle Gas Tank- 34oz (1000cc)

 

The NEW Fortitude V2 gas tanks are here!!!

 

*Fourtitude has amended their fuel tanks due to federal regulations on shipping fuel containers. Check out the video below to see just how easy it is to assemble the tank!

Make sure to upgrade asap as this new and improved design is the cutting edge of next generation RC gas tanks. You are probably familiar with the old design- with the the line-in and the vent nozzle on the top of the tank and the line running to the engine on the cap. Because there are so many different fitting and sealants, there are alot of places where something can go wrong or start leaking.

The V2 design eliminates ALL of these problems with ONE SIMPLE DESIGN..... ALL nozzles are in the removable cap which has TWO rubber gaskets and is ONE SOLID PIECE, which includes the vent tube and filling tube. Fewer parts = Fewer problems.

Fortitude has hit the target with the V2 Tank and as always, is the best quality you can get!

Fortitude (or 4titude) gas tanks are high quality, crystal clear plastic tanks, that take the guesswork and worry out of your tanks. You can clearly see into the 4titude tank to know if your line is still flexible and your clunk is in place! Fortitude tanks include the foam, the Velcro and the tubing to hook to your engine!

4titude tanks are SUPER light, in fact, the lightest commercially available tanks on the market. They use aerospace grade adhesives to ensure long life. 4titude tanks are also made of seamless plastic, making them fully resistant to splitting!

The included clunk is filtered as well.

V2 Features:

  • Injection Molded Single piece glass filled nylon fitting manifold. Light weight extremely strong material that creates a very easy to plumb and compact fuel tank.

  • Dual static O-ring seals, designed utilizing the latest aerospace engineering technology, to seal fluid even under high pressure.  V2 has one potential leak point and with the redundant static seals we have double assurance it will never leak.

  • Plumbed with a filtered clunk and an extended fill/ drain tube to make it easy to drain the tank completely.

  • Zero protrusions/ fittings on the outside of the tank to interfere with tight airframe installations.

  • We took care of making sure there is zero guess work involving installation. 3D diagram included with each tank showing how to properly plumb your fuel system for the best results.

 

 

Note the length dimension is from the back of the tank to the front of the fitting/tubing barbs.

Specs:

  • Size: 8 ounce (236 ML)
    • Length 5 3/8” x Width 1 7/8" x Height 1 7/8” (136.5 x 49.5 x 49.5 mm)
  • Weight: 1 ounce
  • Fittings are part of the cap/ internal tubing
  • Filtered clunk
  • Super light!
  • Crystal clear
  • Seamless
  • Includes: Tank/foam/velcro
  • Fourtitude Tanks are compatible with gas engines only. (Not compatible with Glow fuel)

 

 

 

Fortitude tanks are compatible with ALL oils, synthetic and non-synthetic. Fortitude uses PPG Class B sealant. The expert below explains how high tech and quality of a sealant it is:

“PPG Class B is an aircraft integral fuel tank sealant. It has a service temperature range from - 65°F (-54°C) to 250°F (121°C), with intermittent excursions up to 275°F (135°C). This material is designed for fillet sealing of fuel tanks and other air- craft fuselage sealing applications. The cured sealant maintains excellent elastomeric properties after pro- longed exposure to both jet fuel and aviation gas. "
