GliderCG Scale

GliderCG Scale is our larger CoG balancer for models ranging from 7oz to 88lbs.

GliderCG Scale is suited for much larger planes that the smaller GliderCG product is unable to measure - models weighing up to 88lbs with wingspans of up 26'.

We have made sure the stability of the scale supports these larger models by enlarging and strengthening the base and the frame. Additionally, we wanted this scale to be able to measure much smaller models at 17oz or less.

This smaller GliderCG scale has a shorter chord than their larger versions - this is why we decided to install sliding rear supports to firmly hold any chord without impairing any control surfaces.

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 big scale birds.

Like our proven GliderThrow 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, you can check the weight of each side of your model and store the current configuration of your CoG for several models for future reference.

GliderCG Scale
Landing Gear Version
Stacks Image 22
GliderCG Scale Landing Gear Version is a special version of GliderCG Scale, with the same functionalities, but designed to be used with airplanes that incorporate a landing gear.

Although GliderCG Scale devices can be used to measure airplanes with landing gear (by turning the plane upside down), not in all models can be measured in this fashion.

This special version can accurately measure the CG, weight and weight differential between the sides of your model.

SPECIFICATIONS
  • Dimensions: 15.75"h x 16.15"w x 14.5"d
  • Weight: ~4 lbs / 2 kg
  • Maximum weight: 66 lbs / 30 kg
  • Maximum fuselage width: 14.2 in / 360 mm
  • Maximum fuselage height (from bottom fuselage to wing bottom): 13.75 in / 350 mm
  • Leading edge to rear support pad distance: 11.4 in / 290 mm
  • Power: 800mAh rechargeable Lithium battery (provides ~2 hours of continuous operation)
  • Charge port: USB-C
  • Charge time: ~1 hour
