Default *** CG Wizard *** by Digitech

Like to share with you our latest addition the CG wizard.

Designed by Daniël Maiorano & Sandor Kruise
Build in the EU.

CG wizard is a Helpfull tool that lets you find the CG of your aircraft in 5 easy steps.
we looked carefull to our competition and we seen that most of them around are difficult to use and set up.
and sometimes needs a 50 pages manual to use it.
also we thought to implement all tools you WILL need , and not to buy external stuff.
all is connected thru USB cables.

The CG wizard is easy to setup and use.

5 steps needed only!
1.Set CG mark on aircraft
2.Measure aft Sensor to front sensor
3.Point the build in laser to measure the CG
4.Give distance in app
5.add or lose weight , you can see on app when CG is reached!

Thats it!!! no usage of plumbs , tape , giving to much data.
extremely easy to use!


Complete CG set contains the following :
3 x sensors Laser cut of 6mm CASTED acryl
1 x Central box with BlueTooth and Build in LaserHelp (C)
3 x USB cables to connect sensors to Central Box
1 x Charge Lead
1 x Powerbank 2900 Mah to power the device
Works both on IOS and Android Apps are for FREE!
Max aircraft weight 40 KG

Price is less then a decent Digital high end servo!

Manual here : https://www.dropbox.com/s/niyjwse55q...anual.pdf?dl=0


any questions ? shoot!

179,- incl 21% taxes
If you live outside the eu its 148,- euros
I think it is a fair price

Really like the idea of the built in laser for marking the CG and making it that much simpler to measure.

That is exactly what we thought this way you will have less chance of a error.
Also we will later inplement a share function.
You can search a database to get the correct settings for your model.
It will again leave out one more step!

Don't understand how this works and the pix don't help.

How about a video demo?

By the way, what are those red pix? What are they demonstrating? And the piece of music wire next to a tape measure and a sensor? What's that for?

Looks like the model size version of the wireless digital scale setup to do weight and balance on full size light aircraft. Makes perfect sense.

Can you get it with 25kg sensors in all 3 positions?

5kg on the nose isnt nearly enough for some of my projects coming up and currently being worked on.

yes this is possible , however you need to mention it before ordering it.
there is no price difference
keep in mind! the 5kg sensor is very sensible and precise.
with the 25kg sensor in from it will be less precise.
we calculated the is a 1-4 times less precision when this sensor is used on the front
what is your average nose weight? maybe we can source a different sensor 10kg?

as for people with small aircrafts like a f3a we can make also a lighter edition with smaller sensors, all possible

So if my largest model was 20 pounds or less do I want the smaller sensor in all three positions?

I have two aircraft that the mains are roughly 38-44 pounds each and the nose' are between 26 and 48 pounds each. The heaviest of the two models is 124.6 pounds

Looks good and the price is right. If I didn't already own the competition I would order one. This makes it easy to CG large planes.
