Default RE: easy balancing method

OK, I just built my new CG balancer. As you can see I have multiple holes equally measured apart. I also have different length Dowels with heat shrink on the tips to keep it tight in the holes. On the ends I put on the Pencil Erasers. I balanced a 2'x2' piece of Ply on it and I found the center balance with no problem. I think it will work fine, thanks guys for saving me a little dough. Now I can invest more money in planes.






Sorry about the quality of my pics. I drank too much coffee and my hands started to shake.
