Out of balance?
Center of gravity is no small thing.
Just a fraction of an inch change in balance point
can make the difference between a solid performer
and an airplane you have to fight just to get back
down in one piece. Differences in engine and radio
selection, along with other factors will alter
balance.
With the SIG PRO-BALANCER, you can
quickly balance your model and propellers from one
simple device. The Pro-Balancer will handle nearly
every model in your fleet (fuselage widths up to 11
in (28 cm) and any size model propeller. Made of
carbon steel & laser cut SIG plywood it's equipped
with ball bearings to last for years. |

Center of Gravity
Machine |
|
The center of
gravity (CG) for any model has a profound effect on the way it flies,
handles, and responds to control inputs. As most of us know, a
nose-heavy model flies poorly; a tail-heavy model flies once.
Fliers who don't know this will find out the hard way!
Now you can
accurately and easily balance your model according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. You can also make precise
changes to the CG location to alter your model's flight
characteristics to match your skills and preferences.
In the excitement of
flying the latest masterpiece that you've labored perhaps months
over, do you take proper steps to determine its CG?
Maybe you do a quick check of the CG using our fingertips. If
the plane is too large to do this by yourself, you have your
wife, girlfriend, flying buddy, or one of your kids help with
the task. Such results are often less than perfect. Don't
risk your masterpiece! |

Dead Center Locator Tool |
|
Marking the
drilling hole pattern in an engine mount is an important
task. When improperly drilled, the holes can
over-stress the mount, cause the mounting bolts to bind as
they are attaching the engine to the mount, or even worse,
allow for destructive vibration. But with the Dead Center
Locator, you can quickly, easily and accurately pinpoint the
exact spots where the hole should be. And it's so
affordable! |
