Plane COG Balancer

thingiverse

EDIT 14/12/2018 Version 3 loaded and old comments removed. Version 2 still available. Another plane balancer to find and adjust the center of gravity. All assembly made with 6mm diameter rods (carbon, steel, whatever) some parts have 6.1mm holes to allow smooth sliding. Rulers marks are not 3D printed to get better accuracy via simple paper printing. For good accuracy, a load wagon is included, featuring: - A tank for a load that balances the whole tool when empty - A platform for a load that improves stability when models have a natural center of gravity placed higher than the tool's center of gravity Version 3: Round pieces with eccentric holes allow perfect zeroing of the wing angle. Front nuts made lighter include a stop part to prevent wing leading edge damage. The addition of a load wagon is also visible at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3272979/files Version 2: Two triangles slide in the front nuts to allow perfect zeroing of the wing angle. One should better secure them with a tiny wire. Front nuts should be equipped with a small 6mm vertical rod as a wing leading edge stop part.
