Default RE: Do I really need these?

The C.G. (center of gravity) balancer is a good thing to have. It's used to balance your bird, forward and aft. In the your instruction manual you'lle notice that it gives you a C.G. point to work with: IE) 4.25" from leading edge...

This is a tool you will use on future planes. I would suggest getting it.

The other is to help adjust your control throws, IE) making sure your ailerons/rudder/stab moves enough in each direction. You can avoid purchasing this especially for a trainer but dont get me wrong, this is also important but I would say skip it for now, just make sure you have your instructor look the plane over to make sure you have enough or that you dont have to much.
