SKYRC SK-500039-01 Digital Airplane CG Gauge & Angle Sensor Combo

The SkyRC Center of Gravity Gauge is an advanced tool. This CG gauge allows you to check and adjust the balance of an airplane with precision. You are a Gauge away from a creating a better flying experience! Center of gravity is critical to have a controllable model aircraft. Incorrect CG will result in a hard to control model, and could lead to catastrophic results. SkyRC CG Gauge measures the weight and the center of gravity for fixed-wing aircraft with a maximum load of 20kg. The unit consists of three weighing modules, which are wirelessly controlled via Bluetooth connection to your smartphone using the RC Gears app. The maximum load for a single module is 20kg.

Plus, the system includes angle sensors that allow you to check and adjust the throw parameters of the control surfaces. Surface angle adjustment is another critical factor for fixed wing aircraft. Using this tool will allow you to match throw of each control surface. This tool also helps measure the maximum value of the rudder, relative angle of the mixing control surface, and differential angle value of the aileron. Mechanical measuring is the typical method to acquire the data, but is difficult and creates significant deviation, making it almost impossible to find the relative angle's value. The SkyRC Angle Gauge is the solution. The unit consists of three modules, which are also wirelessly controlled via Bluetooth connection to your smartphone using the RC Gears app.

Features:

• ONE Gram Matters: The slight difference in the center of gravity will bring you a different flying experience. The data tested by the CG Gauge has high reliability and accuracy. The measurement is accurate to 1g with the default unit as gram which is switchable to ounce. Thanks to the gauge, counter weighing becomes more accurate, bringing a better flying experience to our pilots.
• Safe Balancing, Safer Piloting: Forward or backward offset by the center of gravity will cause difficulty in lifting and even blowing up. SkyRC CG Gauge features an accurate algorithm that immediately enables pilots to know the aircraft's CG. Add or lose weight accordingly by comparing the real-time position against the input! Enjoy a pleasant and safe flight.
• High Accuracy: The data tested by Angle Gauge has high reliability and accuracy. The measurement is accurate to 2 degrees with a travel accuracy of 0.1 mm, bringing a better flying experience to our pilots.
• Accuracy meets Craftsmanship: High-hardness aluminum is selected for the case, and strict CNC machining guarantees the stability and reliability that is dust-proof and has strong impact resistance. The top of the weighing module adopts arc shape inspired by the wine glass's bottom, which prevents the wheel from sliding and enables the wheel to be automatically centered. The measurement accuracy is improved!
• Bluetooth5.0: Faster & More Stable. SkyRC CG Gauge is built with Bluetooth 5.0, which enables a faster and more stable connection. The app instantly displays real-time data once connected. Counterweighing is like a breeze!
• Everything is connected: The app receives and records data in real-time via Bluetooth!
• Silent Guarding with Single Battery: Thanks to the Bluetooth 5.0 ultra-low power consumption and our proprietary protocol, a single built-in 3.7V 10440 rechargeable LiPo battery provides sufficient power for comfortable use.
• Universal Charging Interface: The charge port is USB Type C which is accepted as the de facto connector today, so most mobile phone's cable can easily handle the charging.
