![]() ![]() For your airplane to track true and fly right - right from the start -you have to correctly align its incidence. This was often a daunting task...until now. Now you have the AccuPoint Laser Incidence Meter from Great Planes. This incredible tool is easy to use, extremely versatile, and - thanks to cutting-edge, laser technology - amazingly precise. AccuPoint makes the critical procedure of accurately measuring incidence much less stressful, making it the super high-tech system for improving your model's performance! ![]() ![]() An easy, inexpensive way to maximize flight performance Many aeromodelers, especially beginners, may not realize the importance of having the throws of their ailerons, elevator and rudder properly adjusted until it's too late when the plane is in the air. At that point, the risk of a costly crash due to lack of control or too much control is greatly increased. The AccuThrow is the efficient, innovative solution. In just minutes, it accurately measures all control throws, ensuring that the plane's performance will be much more predictable. It works with any model, from trainers to jets, and can even be used for setting up dual rates. This is the accessory that EVERY flier needs! ![]() ![]() An absolute MUST for safe, satisfying flights. Why take chances?... An improperly balanced model-at best-won't be able to fulfill its true performance potential. At worst, it could crash and be destroyed. Why take the risk? Great Planes' inexpensive, easy-to-use CG Machine is the only tool that finds the exact balance without guesswork...and it can be used with virtually ANY fixed-wing aircraft. ![]() ![]() The "fail-safe" way to mark drilling holes for engine mounts Marking the drilling hole pattern in an engine mount is an important task that, until now, was handled in a less-than-precise manner. When improperly drilled, the holes can over-stress the mount, cause the mounting bolts to bind as they are attaching the engine to the mount, or even worse, allow for destructive vibration. But with the Great Planes Dead Center Engine Mount Hole Locator, modelers can quickly, easily and accurately indicate the exact spots where the hole should be. And it's so affordable, it'll be a welcome addition to every flier's tool assortment! Digger Hinge Slotting Tool Designed by Eldon J. Lind ![]()
Groove Tube Cutting Tool ![]() ![]() Cuts perfect grooves in balsa quickly and easily The Groove Tube is designed to create grooves in balsa for installing aileron torque rods and elevator inter-link wires. Modelers simply the push the Groove Tube along the wood surface the hollow end catches and holds the balsa shavings, so there's no mess. After each pass, modelers then press on the other end the spring-loaded plunger forces the shavings out, readying the Groove Tube for another pass.
PinDriver ![]() Handy tool inserts and removes T-pins...easily and painlessly The PinDriver makes quick work of pushing and pulling T-pins, while also eliminating thumb and finger fatigue. This is one tool that's sure to be a essential item on every builder's workbench!
![]() Cuts shaping work down to size — in minutes! Removing material from modeling projects used to require a lot of time and effort. All it takes now is Great Planes' Power Plane — and a few minutes. Set the depth of cut adjustment, plug it in and the Power Plane's rotary blade removes as much as 0.030” of unwanted material in one fast, clean pass. It gets surfaces ready for sanding fast. Push the twin on-buttons simultaneously, and the Power Plane powers through glue joints, changing wood densities — even end-grain balsa wood — the same way: quickly and easily. For safety, simplicity and speed, the Power Plane is truly a “cut” above the rest! Precision Center Marking Tool ![]() The easy way to get perfect hinge locations every time The unique design of the Precision Center Marking Tool allows modelers to find the exact center of a control surface, for the most accurate and consistent placement of hinges, ailerons and elevators. Pilots will appreciate the advantages of perfectly centered hinges, resulting in uniform control surface performance without binding. ![]() ![]() Kit building's biggest chore takes nearly no time at all! A single airplane kit may have as many as 30-40 hinge slots. Cutting each hinge slot using a manual tool (such as a hobby knife) takes 2-3 minutes each. Do the math—you spend hours doing nothing but cutting slots! No wonder so many modelers loathe the job. But now there's a better way: With Great Planes' patented (U.S. Pat. 6,094,826) electric-powered Slot Machine, you can cut ALL of your kit's hinge slots in about 30 minutes! Precision Z-Bend Pliers ![]() THE tool for making better Z-bends A model airplane's flight performance is enhanced when the servo arms work smoothly...and these Precision Z-Bend Pliers are designed to create the perfect Z-bend at the exact spot on the wire, every time!
