I’ve used this, and it’s absolutely worth it. Literally watched a $20,000 plane fly right into a tree because of balance. If you have a $200 RC plane, don’t bother. But if you’re a real hobbiest, you’d better have a balancing kit that works. The guy who manufactures these is also super responsive and quick to help. Highly recommend.
Well well well, what has the algorithm brought me today? So that is just the jig, what $$$ would you be into for everything necessary? Like so many things, if you are doing a RC W&B daily I'm sure it would worth it's weight in gold but for the average Joe wouldn't three decent scales and a little ingenuity work just as well?
No doubt you are correct. Most will go the finger route. But for those with special project or greater needs investing 800-1k would be a good and wise long term investment. Esp on special project. Heck even foamies hit 1k anymore
It’ll tell you where the CG is, but not where it should be. Only test flights can tell you that. CG is partly personal preference like rates, expo, etc.
It is for sure and that’s why I said it gets you to a good starting point according to manufacture spec. Also if you get it dialed in where you like it and want to change pack sizes you can maintain that feel
It’s all relative. Maybe not needed but nice on everyday planes. I have friend with cg issues on a t45 he couldn’t get sorted out. We did. What if you have a 15k jet or a 12k Pitts that took 3 years to build. Different people in the hobby do things different ways. They are all good
@@JustPlaneCrazy Agreed, I have a couple jets topping out over $20k. Too big to balance any other way and get the precision needed that I feel comfortable with. Plus, this Jig takes the time of that process and reduces it to minutes, not a whole afternoon spent on it any longer.
Awesome product! There is nothing out there like it!
That what I like about models like this. Thanks for watching

So accurate
FINALLY!!! This will make a hell of lot easier to balance my planes with the Xicoy Balancer!!! THANKS YOU FOR SHOWCASING THIS!!!
For sure. I am with you!
@ please consider showcasing the light version as well. I’m really curious about that one too.
That is so absurd! I love it! I need one! Thanks for sharing this freaking money snatcher!
lol. I love comments!!
Omg thank you for posting this!!! Definitely adding this to my hangar!!!!
U bet. Thanks for watching. Share away!
How long is the aluminium pieses?
I am currently away and can’t answer that. Email them that question from their website.

The mains axis is 48" and the nose/tail axis is 96" long. The laser gantry is also 48" long.
@@benbork11 thak you! 😊
Nice equipment, laser doesn’t seem to be squared up. When you had it on the center of the closest puc the farther away one was not centered
It straight as can be and the laser is a bubble laser so it centers itself. It must just be the.camera angle

@@JustPlaneCrazy The jig is portable and easy enough to assemble to take to the field and make adjustments there as well.
Wow! Really? A super complex and incredibly expensive means to accomplish the simplest of things!😂😂😂
