I have designed a Airplane Balancer if anyone is looking for one.
This is a balancer I designed since the Great Planes Balancer is no longer available.
I made this to be 3D printed.
Mine is larger than the one from Great Planes with a few additions.
I added wing protectors to prevent damage to the coverings.
I added shoulder bolts to the wing protectors, leading edge guides, and the base both front and rear. This allows you to tie the balance head in place to make it easier to mount the airplane no the balancer.
The files are available on cults3d.
I can make these for someone who doesn’t 3D print, as a complete product, or just the printed parts. You can contact me.




I included photos of the hardware I used, bought from amazon.
I plan to make several variations of the balance head, to allow use of plastic rulers, however, there are som many types of rulers, that it may require modifications base on the rule you choose
