Balancing Jig?
About 10 years ago I had the perfect balancing jig that I built from a set of planes that I found. I would like to build one like it but cannot for the life of me find it anywhere. It used a wooden dowel with string hanging from it that went around the wings at the roots and had a plumb bob that hung down from the same dowel that pointed to the balance point. Does anyone know where to find this at?

RE: Balancing Jig?
It works great. I just had to build another one. The 30% Yak I have just didn't want to balance right on the make shift balancer I had. I placed it in the Vanessa jig and was able to get it dead on by moving the 12oz reciever battery back 6". Now to go fly it some more and adjust from there.
