Multiplex, 693054, Centre of Gravity gauge

If a model is to fl y satisfactorily its longitudinal dihedral must be correct, and its fl ying
surfaces warp-free; the fi nal factor is that its CG must also be right.
Guessing the balance point, e.g. using your fi ngertips, can lead to innumerable unnecessary
test-fl ights or - in the worst case - to an immediate crash. The plan or building
instructions usually state the CG position, but how should it be transferred accurately
to the model? This problem is solved neatly with our CG Gauge, which is designed
to cope with models with an all-up weight of 300 g to 10 kg. The measurement range
extends from 30 to 150 mm, which means that it can handle a (non-swept) wing with
a chord of up to about 450 mm in the case of a constant-chord wing; that's likely to
cope with any current model.
