I have created a set of conical supports for those who want to balance the plane with the gear up ( to check the influence of the gear on the CG position) or who have gliders.
These are CNC machined from 3 blocks of nylon and have a small flat surface of 3/4 in at the to with a felt pad.



The bottom of the cone has a slight taper to self center on the scale sensor.
