Heavy Duty Sailplane Balance Stand

[JimD]

Jeremy,

Two of the steel sliders were missing from one of my base rails...but as I checked the other parts, I found them stuck to one of the balance rail magnets! So all is good here, got it assembled and working properly. Thank you very much for organizing this group buy, I know it was a headache but you have some very happy friends now. 😎

thats a good looking bit of kit Jim and idea how much weight and up to what size root chord the unit can handle?

According to what I get from the mfg, up to about 100 lbs. and max cord of about 30".

I think 100 lbs. would be a stretch, but 50 lbs. should not be a problem. Mainly, the support pad area is fairly small and may want to crush thru the wing of a 100 lb. plane.

This mfg makes balance stands for larger planes...check their website.

Guys, I was fortunate enough to get one of the HD balance stands, and it works great for most any sized glider. However, I have trouble using it on larger powered planes with landing gear. On 50cc and smaller planes, setting on the stand up-side-down works OK, but for 150cc planes this is a real issue. Has anyone found a easy and safe way of balancing large tugs on the HD stand? My Pegasus would appreciate any good ideas.

Thanks, and Happy New Year,
Larry Fitch

I'm bring back this thread as I had some more interest for another order after the Horizon Aerotow. If you are interested in purchasing one please respond to this thread so I can get an idea of quantity before I get pricing!
