Hi Guys - It sounds like cheaper and easier is the theme on how to build something for doing the CG. I have had the GP CG balancer for years and it has worked great for the smaller glo planes, but then as most of us do, the planes started getting bigger and heavier [8D]. I looked at the GP balancer and decided I should be able to just upsize it, SO, one day when I had a couple of spare hours I built this . It does great, and the bars the wings sit on don't go over center due to how I've got the channel placed down over the bar stock. About the only thing I need to do is put some wing nuts on the angle at the bottom to make it easier to change the width when I need.
