SkyRC Center of Gravity and Angle Gauge for Planes, 3 pcs

This set consisting of three center of gravity gauges and three angle gauges is designed to optimally prepare fixed-wing aircraft for flight. Measurement data is transmitted in real time via Bluetooth to the RC Gears app on a smartphone, allowing pilots to determine the center of gravity and monitor rudder angles with a tolerance of 2°. Each compact module features a built-in rechargeable 3.7 V lithium battery and a USB-C port. The system supports a maximum weight of 20 kg per scale for a total of 60 kg, featuring a display accuracy of ±1 g and a measurement accuracy of ±3 g, while the angle sensors offer a measurement accuracy of ±2° and travel accuracy of ±0.1 mm.
