RC plane balancer

thingiverse

I modified an RC plane balancer made by HampOp. I found his design too small, so I created a new one based on his work. ###What to Print: - The base twice - Hinge parts two times - Pad parts four times - Ruler Left part once - Ruler Left part once - RulerStop parts two times ###What You Need: - 6 M3 screws, each 14mm long - 6 M3 nuts - 2 M4 screws, each 14mm long - 4 M4 screws, each 18mm long - 6 M4 self-locking nuts - 10mm tubing (you can use a larger tube and drill a bigger hole, but be aware that the piece may break) ###Assembly Instructions: - Attach the ruler to the base using M3 screws and nuts. Rotate it by 180 degrees if you want to use metric or imperial units. - Mount the hinge on the base with M4 screws and self-locking nuts. Do not tighten the plastic parts yet, as this part should be free of movement. The self-locking nut will prevent unscrewing. - Connect the pad to the hinge using M4 screws and self-locking nuts. Again, do not tighten the plastic parts yet, as this part must also be free of movement. The self-locking nut will prevent unscrewing. - Slide the two assemblies onto the guiding tube. ###About: You can modify this design using the .f3d file in Fusion 360.
